Zeit der Geheimnisse

Nice photography and color pallete nice direction very cold and tragic humor.

No good ideas, normal to good performances.

Bit boring too. I cant see 2nd episode.

The writers did a terrible job on this one. About 10 different stories going12 different directions and totally unbelievable. The only redeeming quality was the seaside and ocean. Otherwise it wasn't worth writing home about.

This series touched my heart. The cinematography was marvelous and I was never confused about what was going on, even with the time jumps. Highly recommend this gem!

[Edit: watched until the end. Tried to sum up.] In ordner to make this review without spoilers, this is the only thing i can say. I watched all three episodes and i am not amused. This series thinks, every single human in its audience is so dumb, that it comes up with a total sensless plot. In fact i beleave the plot was written by 14 year old teenagers who naively are building up a crime thriller psycho plot without the key components of these genres.

The series is over explanatory. It does not leave room for interpretation or time and space for thinking about it. 50% of the dialouge consist of names shouted at each other for rembering the dumb audience who is who. Besides that the characters are constantly repeating themselves like a cliche bomb. Its like a story in the head of the already mentioned teenagers - only with more strong language to give it a pseudo contemporary and adult flavor.

Why? The title and the thumbnails, even the short description were promising. The series can not catch up what the marketing promised. It feels like an afternoon tv show for senior audience in german television.

And I like dark and slow. Very good actors. Lots of yanking back and forth in timeline, which mostly made sense but you can forget who is who. Alma's was a story I wish we'd heard more about. I'd give it 7.5, and hope others will try it. A 'Netflix original' so watch it there.
