The actors are okay, given what they had to work with. And the main characters might be clichéd, but that's not bad at all. That's just the way many stories work. The camera, editing and music are good. So there's an enough creepy, eerie vibe to it, that I wanted to know where it goes and watched all episodes.
But the story is incoherent, has too many plot holes and lacks character development. Some things seem to happen for no other reason than creating effects. There's an easy to understand, yet very plain story with wolves that makes the show a bit cheap. On the other hand we have the main characters, a family cursed apparently for no reason, because there's never an explanation. But this would be one of the most important things to know! Also the curse works different on some people. Why? The twists are either predictable or illogical. Last but not least at some parts the German synchronization is cringe worthy, especially the South Tyrolean dialect sounds utterly ridiculous. The English version isn't better.
The end of this season with a boring, quite predictable cliffhanger was enough for me. So I wouldn't watch a second one. But see for yourself!
Compared to the French Netflix production Marianne, which I found very entertaining and had a proper synchronization, but unfortunately got cancelled already after one season, it would be a shocking surprise, if they went on with this one.
to those, who claim, there's no need to use your brain to "understand" : well, this might be the main motto of the orange rumpelstiltskin of the USA and the biggest problem of our world ;) cheers
