Talk:SOKO Potsdam

SOKO Potsdam and Luna + Sophie

@Revirvlkodlaku: @Discographer: Luna + Sophie is the first few seasons of a German tv show called SOKO Potsdam with English subtitles. Here is the description on IMDb for SOKO Potsdam, which began in 2018 in Germany. “Luna and Sophie are childhood best friends who become SOKO detectives devoted to rid the streets of Potsdam from crime, they just have a slightly humorous way of doing it.” This text matches the PBS text. In the Also Known As part of the IMDb page here the title Luna and Sophie is used in India and USA. IMDb page for Luna and Sophie says this: Luna and Sophie is the English title. Please see SOKO Potsdam for full information.

I know Wikipedia has a dim view of IMDb for some purposes. From another source, the short number of seasons for Luna and Sophie is explained by “cast turnover” in SOKO Potsdam: “Unfortunately, Season 3 will be the last of Luna+Sophie, despite SOKO Potsdam heading into Season 6 in Germany. Like many police procedurals based on place instead of character, cast turnover is a common occurrence, and most of the original cast bowed out after 2021, replaced with …”; the article opens with this paragraph “It's been over a year since Luna+Sophie, renamed from its original German title SOKO Potsdam, arrived as a binge-watch on PBS Passport in April 2022. The German language series debuted simultaneously with Annika's first season on PBS Passport, and both women-fronted police procedural series have proved popular series with members. Luna+Sophie was so popular it was among the first selected to be part of the PBS' Thursday night national schedule lineup in the fall of 2022. Now, with Season 3 having been added to PBS Passport in March 2023, Season 2 is heading for linear broadcast.” I hope that is persuasive, along with the characters and actors being the same. - - 05:48, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
