action
The first season combines the work of Rudolph Virchow , Emil Behring , Paul Ehrlich and Robert Koch , in particular the discovery of tuberculin , with the fictional story about the nurse Ida Lenze, who came from a wealthy doctor's household but was orphaned and subsequently impoverished.
The second season jumps into the final years of the Second World War. The war, the Nazi rule and the work of the surgeon Ferdinand Sauerbruch and the psychiatrist Max de Crinis at the Charité provide the historical framework for the fictional plot about a medical student Anni Waldhausen, her husband Artur Waldhausen and her brother Otto Marquardt.

Reviews
Karl Max Einhäupl , CEO of the Berlin Charité, praised the implementation of the film project:
“I am enthusiastic about the great collaboration and the convincing result of this extraordinary film project. [...] The Charité is proud that these medically and historically significant events are now being processed on film and brought closer to a broad audience. "
The doctor, historian, science journalist and non-fiction author Werner Bartens sees the result more critically:
“This elaborate television spectacle is hopelessly overloaded. [...] Manorial glory, women's studies, lesbian love and Zille's 'Milljöh' are [...] also negotiated. One would not be surprised if the fall of the Berlin Wall, Kreuzberg riots on May 1st and the mothers from Prenzlauer Berg also had a brief appearance. Here just too much of a good thing is packed into six episodes. This is called overtherapy in medicine and most patients are not at all happy with it. "
Also Arno Frank by Spiegel Online , the series takes a critical view:
“Even death, however, remains a narrative deadweight effect, it never gets really dramatic. Too many storylines want to be pursued and intertwined. [...] The will to create a large and accurate picture of morals remains palpable, but in the long run out of tune. Which does not mean that focusing on a love story and a vector of disease did the project any good. Maybe viewing habits have simply shifted. The salvation would then not lie in the limitation, but in the expansion and rectification. 'Charité' not as a six-part on television, but over twelve episodes on a streaming service - that's it. "
Carolin Ströbele from Zeit Online praised:
“The series shows the heroes' tossing and turning at a time when on the one hand groundbreaking inventions such as electricity and the telephone are revolutionizing life, but on the other hand there is blind loyalty to the emperor and an almost medieval devotion to fate. [...] In spite of the rustling of hoofs and the clatter of hoofs, Charité in its good moments is what can be understood by the educational and entertainment mandate of the public sector: to bring the viewer closer to an exciting topos in a scientifically founded and fictional form.
