La señal

The series were deep and mostly focused on us, humans. I loved it. It surprised me in so many ways. It got my attention from the first to the very last second. The ending got me unprepared, too. Unpredictable endings are something I miss in the movies nowadays and this one was a nice getaway from the typical forseen stories. If you want something different and character oriented, I strongly recommend this one. If you are expecting the next "alien against humanity" type of series with battles and guns, don't start. As a movie is closer to "Arrival", but amazingly different in so many ways. Just give it a chance.

I enjoyed this up until the last episode. The acting is great. Another review questioned criticism of the acting based on dubbing but I only ever use subtitles.

Setup is done well and drew me in, there is enough going on to make you curious although some of the revelations are dragged out, the effects are good enough with only one or two dodgy bits of CGI. The relationship between Sven and Charlie is nuanced and convincing. Most of the other characters are delivered well although space jock being allowed on the ISS seemed ludicrous.

The ending felt a bit anti-climactic to me as well as completely infeasible but the message about how we deal with crises as a species seems sadly accurate at the moment.

Final comment - one other scathing review poured scorn on the idea of someone being able to listen in on radio transmissions between Paula and Charlie. If you're going to watch sci-fi, maybe consider understanding a bit of science first.

Just finished this four part series and really enjoyed it,Not To Be Compared with Constellation which would be a mistake as Signal is an entirely different Story,the only common comparision is Both series have a woman Astroaunt. Signal is a really good THRILLER,MYSTERY however the best part half way through you realise there is a huge conspiracy going on by a vested party and others. I am surprised of the low rating maybe because its German production with Subtitles and you can convert to English Audio on Netflix also very good English voice Dubbing. I did not know any of the actors however each gave their part a good performance.

If you you are are full on Sci Fi Fan this is just ok, I am a fan of Sci Fi,Conspiracy,thriller and Mystery For me "Signal" Offered it all so as Entertainment is concerned for my viewing pleasure.

I rated it a 7.

I'm midway through and I'm debating whether I want to finish. Huge sci-fi fan but as others have stated its slow... there's building suspense over time but so far this is kind of pushing it. Also just got mentally burned on it a bit. Why do shows have to bring politics in. It is nauseating. I don't watch TV shows to think of the current mess. I don't want to hear the names of any political person on either side. I don't care for the shows creators personal views on either side. Sven is also really ruining it for me. His character is weak and very soft, not being there for his daughter much in a chaotic time. Anyway, I'll finish watching it, just because I want to know if anything actually interesting or redeeming happens. I will change my review if it does.

Had a lot of potential but it was disappointing at the end, on one of the worst endings I've ever seen... You spend the entirety of the series thinking and imagining scenarios where in the end nothing like that happened, but not like a twist in a good way, it was a twist where actually nothing happens, absolutely anything... Reviewed it as a 6 because until the last episode it's somewhat good and keeps you imagining how it may end, but eventually disappoints right in the end because nothing falls into place of how it could've been. The acting is good and the dept of the characters as well, 6/10.
