Shannon F Good series until the last 20 minutes of the series. Very disappointed. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Bessie B I can't really recommend this show. The pacing is too slow (like many limited series, it could and should have been a 90 minute movie). Half the characters were VERY hard to like (Grandpa, I'm looking at you), and most attempts at character development were left completely unexplained -- like, why is Hannah so smart? Is Jasmin just going to be shitty to her dad forever? What is going on with the detective's family? Why were there so many scenes about the policeman guy popping pills and having depression when they weren't going anywhere with it? Why did the whole love triangle with the grandparents even happen, and why was it left so unresolved? Besides the irritating flop of a plot, this was just another crime show that: A) made some random guy into an unrealistically smart and powerful villain, while making the police force look like a complete joke; and B) centered around violence against women with nothing to really say about it...just for fun I guess Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review Darlene N Gripping, heart-wrenching, horrifying, could not stop watching until the relief of the ending. Superb acting by all the mains. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Namrata S It left me with more questions than the answers in the end. No reason why, how, what it's just the cinematography. It definitely made me curious at first but the end left me frustrated, why did I even chose to watch this without seeing reviews. Maybe I expected too much but it should have a reasonable closure at the end. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Christian K I like the idea of this series, but for me it has the quality of a Tatort production. It tries to shock the viewer by showing bad injuries, badly mauled corpses or by telling horror stories. It's kind of driving with a ghost train, but the whole presentation is just being ridicilous. The scene where the police broke into the house made me break up with this series. Of course they run into a mined military base with just the normal police holding pistols and annoyingly barking dogs. Usually we have here in germany special units, like from the LKA, for such dangerous operations, who can also afford machine guns. It's just like a stupid horror movie Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Chris A I watched this one so you don’t have to suffer. While the casting is good, and the production itself looks great, the script is inept. The characters are so incompetent. The events so unbelievable and the twist is not even a twist. If the detective was competent she would’ve solved it in the first hour. God save Germany if their police force is this dysfunctional. If you want to see quality German television, watch the amazing show Dark. Definitely give this one a skip. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
