julianrichmondva I personally liked the series. I had to watch it dubbed because I don't speak German and don't read the subtitles fast enough to be able to follow. Some of the voices really did not work in the dubbed voice, for example, My-Lei the Vietnamese woman. She had a really nasally awful voice speaking her own native tongue, but the woman who was her dubbed voice had this kind of syrupy sweet voice. Then there was the Admiral. WTH? He was wearing a uniform that was not really a navy admiral's uniform, had captain insignias and it appeared he was one of the fighters in the Afghan War with Nelly which means he wasn't necessarily an officer. So WTH was he really? CIA I guess, but you'd think that the writers/producers would research that a little bit more closely.The 2nd season was a tad better than the first, however, I want to know if they are going to have another season, because the ending definitely leaves the door open for more, even though quite a few of the supporting characters were killed off. I would like to know what the last scene when Franke is arrested again by the CIA after sneaking to see his son and give him a recording of everything that happened that led up to their now having to be separated. The entire last episode was of Franke getting very reckless because he saw his wife die...or did he? She told him with what he thought was her dying breath that she was sorry for betraying him, but that it was the only way she could be with their son and not have to be looking over her shoulder any longer. So his seeing his wife looking over their son's shoulder as he is arrested for the last time by the CIA leaves you believing that (1) the CIA faked her death so that he would become reckless, which he did, and (2) that he now had a reason to try to escape yet again so he could get back to his wife and son and get a final revenge on the CIA...especially since the CIA had the head of the BND arrested, which now left him more sympathetic to Franke.One other thing that I thought was a bit too idiotic, was that when the Admiral and the CIA had locked Franke in the cell and had him hanging from the rafters by his hands, the Admiral beat the crap out of Franke's legs and chest and basically his entire body, and yet when Angel helped him escape and he and Angel and My-Lei took the entire staff including the Admiral and locked them in a cell, Franke was walking as though he had never had any injuries. That was unrealistic. If someone is beaten as badly as Franke was...beaten like he was a pinata with a very thick wooden post, I don't think he would have been able to walk, much less think very clearly.

Wayne Curley I honestly had no real expectations for the show, I only found out about it yesterday (well really I stumbled upon it). I was bored sick of watching the same kind of things so I said what the hell I'll give it a shot. I ended up watching and couldn't stop, It had me engrossed in the story from the start to finish. I like watching foreign movies and t.v shows I mostly watch Asian, I think this is the first German show I have seen if other German shows are as good as this I'll be watching more of them. The only pity is that it was only 6 episodes long I'm going to cross my fingers and hope that a season 2 comes out and it has more episodes. There's no glamorized nonsense in this like the majority of shows out there or nothing blown up every 5 minutes, this has a almost realistic feel to it it's a great show to watch so don't be turned away by the bad reviews and decide for yourself I for one will be watching out for a season two because I enjoyed.

Sj VanDaalen Usually I leave the review writing to others, but this time I was compelled to write one.The show looked very promising. It was highly anticipated. As soon as it launched I started watching the first episode. If you haven't, you'll be surprised. It's one of the worst I have ever seen. It's a bad idea to start watching. Just like it's a bad idea to rub salt in your wounds or smoke while tanking gas. But here's the thing... If you can look past the lousy acting, the stretching scene's and dialogues and even the HORRIBLE English dub... There is still the problem of nothing being original. Just a standard German crime story. I wish I could warn you for spoilers, but that's just it. There is nothing to spoil. I couldn't keep focused and had the hardest time not to laugh about the characters. I even doubt calling it characters, because the whole thing feels flat and flimsy.So... Watch the series and be prepared to lose some valuable time which you could have spent on other things.

JOS OK, the plot has no innovative Ideas. It is a mix out of 24, Mr. Robot and has a often misplaced family Story, as seen in Homeland Season 2. But at the end... who cares? The result from that mix is a good entertaining show, including some visually stunning pictures & a well fitting Soundtrack. My hint to the marketing: Don't use the words hacking, hacker or hacked so often in the advertisements. It will disappoint some viewers.As you can see, you have only >100 Votes and only 4 Reviews. And i'm pretty sure, some votes are only against Mr. Schweighoefer, often blamed as "overrated". It is not comparable to Breaking Bad, Mr. Robot or other Top 150 Shows.But definitely worth seeing.
