Which German crime shows do you watch?

Regarding your (first) question: German tv shows are produced way more cheaply than American shows. An episode costs about 600.000€ to make (to compare: an episode of the Big Bang Theory costs about 2 million USD). So that's probably why they look more cheap, they are.

A must-see German show is imo Der Tatortreiniger. It's a comedy series about a crime scene cleaner. The comedy results from the weird people he meets on the job and the surreal situations he gets in.

I'll probably out myself as someone with terrible taste but I thought I'd mention two other shows I can recommend (but wouldn't consider must-see).

Danni Lowinski. It's a sitcom/dramedy? about a lawyer who couldn't get a job so she opens her own office in a mall and charges 1€ per minute. The low price attracts people who can't afford a "regular" lawyer like immigrants, the homeless etc. It got some critical acclaim for providing social commentary.

Schillerstraße. It was an improvisation comedy. Cordula Stratmann, a comedian, lives in an apartment and gets visited by her friends (who are all played by other comedians). There is no script and sometimes one or more of the comedians get a prompt over head set. Quality varied depending on the starring comedians and the show went downhill after Cordula left but the early episodes were gold.

When a sitcom like The Big Bang Theory costs a lot, it's probably mostly due to actor's salaries. I think it's fair to say that that more money is usually available for high production values, though.
