Murder Mindfully (German: Achtsam Morden) is a multilingual German black comedy thriller television series. It premiered on Netflix at Halloween 2024 and received generally favourable reviews. The series is based on the novel by Karsten Dusse.[1] Netflix renewed it for a second and third season.
Björn Diemel is a hardworking law firm employee, but has no prospect of becoming a partner, because he has to serve the law firm's scumbag client mafia boss Dragan Sergowicz. His time consuming job leaves little time for his wife Katharina and his little daughter Emily. To save their marriage and for the sake of their child, Katharina urges him to see the therapist Joschka Breitner. Through the Mindfulness coaching, Björn learns to achieve a better work-life balance.
Unfortunately, his client Dragan Sergowicz gets himself into serious trouble and is dragging Björn down with him. Now, Björn is using his newly minted skill with mindfulness to survive the web of criminality he has been dragged into.
