Eine Billion Dollar

Although I didn't read the novel, you realize that there is a great story idea behind that TV show. But the execution in the Mini-series is just sad and shallow. Although they had more time over these 6 episodes than in just one movie, they rushed through the story and moved away from the origianl. The screenplay writing lacks coherence, leaving viewers bewildered rather than intrigued. Not better than a mediocre Dan Brown movie (and those were better in terms of actors and budget). German productions have the potential to be great, but this was not a good example! I actually stopped after the second episode.
