Bringing (Some) Order to Chaos

It’s probably because I am a big fan of the World War II-era crime novels written by Philip Kerr and J. Robert Janes, but this item from In Reference to Murder got my attention:

Tully producer Bron Studios has teamed up with Studiocanal’s Tandem Productions on a global television thriller from The Bridge co-creator Måns Mårlind. The gritty, eight-part series Shadow Play is a character-driven period thriller ... set in Berlin and centers on Max McLaughlin, an American cop who arrives in the city in the summer of 1946 to help create a police force in the chaotic aftermath of the war. Max’s goal is to take down “Englemacher” Gladow, the Al Capone of post-war Berlin, while also undertaking a secret crusade to find his missing brother, who is killing ex-Nazis in hiding. However, Max is completely unaware that he is being used as a pawn in what is the very beginning of the Cold War.
