Alarm für Cobra 11 - Die Autobahnpolizei

Decent crashes, the plot is a bit sparse, the occasional deaths of the main characters, quite a solid choice of people "behind the wheel" (at least the dwarf Turk is a pleasant change after all those two-meter athletes). Here and there you may come across a story that has a decent tension, drive and attracts viewers to the screen... which in turn is balanced by a completely dull and pathetic hodgepodge. It is definitely above average in terms of German detective-action productions, which means nothing more than the fact that it can be watched without detriment to reason, taste and morality...

A very silly series to fill the broadcasting time of commercial television in the early afternoon hours. Poor scripts and performances, words cannot express. Perhaps only die-hard opponents of motor vehicles will enjoy it because there are hardly any other series or movies with as many crash scenes... Overall impression is 15%. (14.08.2008)

I'm only reviewing the seasons where Semir is not yet a "little Turkish terminator" and he has André Fuchs as a partner – the most likeable tough guy of all. As time went on, the Germans started to make better and more polished car crashes, which were nice to look at, but the series went downhill. (26.01.2010)

A show that became an integral part of my youth. Every day I would sit in front of the TV expecting a big demolition and explosions, and at school during breaks we would play Simir flying through the air onto a pile of school desks after an explosion. Where the hell have those times gone? Now I quickly change the channel as soon as I see Cobra 11 on TV. I don't want to completely ruin the good impression that was slowly getting spoiled as the series went on, with the same crashes and more and more unoriginal cases. But even with that, in my eyes Cobra is still the peak of German TV series. (09.04.2012)
