If you cant wait to immerse yourself in Marvin Krens gangster world, we recommend 4 Blocks (the cast includes Crooks actors Kida Khodr Ramadan, Veysel Gelin and Frederick Lau). Kren has also taken us to Vienna before (albeit 19th century Vienna) in his series Freud (the cast includes Crooks actors Robert Finster, Georg Friedrich and Christoph Krutzler).
Krens inspiration for Crooks includes 1960 film classic Classe Tous Risques, starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Lino Ventura, about "a devoted friendship between two crooks in a brutal criminal world (Kren) - which is also one of the main themes of Crooks.
About Crooks

Charly and Joseph find their fates inextricably tangled as they are forced to flee and get Charlys family to safety. In search of themselves and desperately trying to save whats important to them, the two crooks will have to hold their own against gangs from Berlin, Vienna, and Marseille.
