Nous, la vague

I really if there's any logics behind this series.. everyone can change from one character to another just if the directors want it to be, and they don't have their principle, at all. And the whole storyline had so many bugs. I mean, don't the filmmakers of this series somehow live in the real world? Even a bit?

Having loved the Third Wave novel, I was really excited for this show. Unfortunately, it fell flat. I couldn't tell if the voices were dubbed or if the audio didn't consistently match the video, which was distracting as I was trying to figure this out. I couldn't connect with the characters. They were too extreme stereotypes to feel real.

It has it faults, the down on his luck copper is a bit stereotypical but on the whole this is a pretty good series that has humour - which is always a plus - very likeable characters and a decent premise. Overall I would call it Fight Club for the - almost 2020's - which is a positive and I very much look forward to the next series.

About halfway through the first episode, I was so overcome with how corny this show is that I checked IMDB to see if it gets any better. Sure enough, first review I see says to stick with it to the end, it gets better and is worth it.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Even if you like the politics of this show, it is so corny and on the nose it is unbearable. There is no subtly, no nuance, just absolutely cheesy politics throughout. I thought at one point they may introduce some nuance (hey these are real people and businesses we're hurting), but no, they run right back to the cornball politics.

I hope that it is better if you are a native German speaker, but i really regret wasting my time on this. I've enjoyed other German series in the past so I don't think that is it.

Yep, the first 2 episodes are quitre mediocre, especially if you're not into typical teen dramas, as they mostly serve building up characters, but the series quickly picks up pace. It is in episode 3 when the show truly finds its way, and episodes 4-6 are just really, really good in showing the naivity of teen rebellion.

Keep in mind, however, that this show is NOT similar to the movie from 2008 or the book. It is just loosely based, and tells much more about naive idealism than about left-wing extremism. In fact, I'd say the show is more critical of the far-right than left wing.

Give this series another chance, because it truly does pick up and deserves a season 2.
