A thriller set in the world of high finance, director Christian Schwochow’s first TV series CREDO centers on a highly talented young investment banker, Jana Liekam (played by the award-winning newcomer actress Paula Beer), who is embroiled in an intrigue forcing her to cause damage to her own bank and triggering a major crisis in the global financial economy. Running to six 45-minute episodes, CREDO is an adrenaline-driven game of power and manipulation, economic interests and political common sense, and of personal ambitions and shifting loyalties. Jana moves through the world of investment banking like a fish in water. But is she in fact more of a shark?
