A brave production that unfortunately fails on its own.
Some storylines are exciting at the beginning only to end completely pointlessly a few minutes later.
"Jill" doesn't seem finished - which would be acceptable considering there are 4 more episodes.
I find "Elmchen" Part I particularly exciting and offers endless potential - only to end in utter nonsense in Part II.
I only half-heartedly watched "Häxan" after the two disastrous episodes before it and found it to be the weakest in terms of content.
Even the end credits scene can't console me for this disappointment.
Really great, brave approach - but putting the climax of each story in the middle of the 2 parts makes for a yawning boredom that makes this series stick in your memory.
They should have halved the running time and left some cliffhangers for you.
A terrible series in an even more terrible time.
I actually wanted to stop watching it right after the first episode, but then I was curious to see if it would stay this one-sided portrayal.
Poor people who are born into this conflict that becomes their life - on both sides of the border.
Overall, I don't like the one-sided portrayal of Israel's point of view, the glorification of violence and the anti-Semitism towards Arabs.
The series would have been a chance to show the conflict on both sides of the border in a human way.
Unfortunately, this has resulted in a one-sided ideological portrayal that glorifies and legitimizes violence and portrays all Arabs as an untrustworthy, violent group.
As a German, I am ashamed because this series is a co-production between Israel and Germany.
We have given millions of Arabs a new home and live together here in peace.
Our constitution and past prohibit the different treatment of people of any origin or race.
This should have been incorporated into the production.
The end of the series in particular shows that the producers' only answer is to stop violence with the help of other violence.
And that is precisely the only message of this series.
1/5 stars
Most boring season so far, as tough as chewing gum.
Somehow the series has deteriorated massively and exchanged its pioneering spirit for a depressive espionage character study.
The eternally aging actors are deeply tiring and it slowly becomes more than unbelievable that they are still on active duty in space after decades.
At least after 10 episodes we finally find out what happened to the asteroid.
Great series, every episode is "on point", great setting, great season finale that ties up almost all the loose ends.
Someone really knows their craft.
In my opinion, it doesn't live up to the hype.
I haven't read the books and was looking forward to unique sci-fi. Unfortunately, what was delivered was a terribly boring, sci-fi-tinged cheap drama with no content - stretched out to 8 lame episodes.
The story offers such an incredible basis that I really don't understand what went wrong here.
Especially with such a budget... the majority of it must have been spent convincing the board not to write off the entire production without broadcasting it.
In any case, I bet that there will be NO second season and if there is, it will definitely be without me
