It's super decompressed

There's enough plot here for about 2 hours

Across 9 it feels too meandering and has a lot of inconsequential content.

I don't really have 8 hours to give to something like this just now, which is a shame because there's a lot to like.

Its slow but wait till the end I loved every minute of it the old feelings the costumes the story everything I think this is a very good one just give it a try.

Gradually drawing in me, takes a lot of concentration bcos of the subtitles, but worth it.

No telegraphing stories here straight into your brain. You need to watch it to follow. Given the limited dialogue and that fact that it's in German (English subtitles) - i found it very engaging. I simply loved it!

Don't be fooled by the jump-cut fast paced trailer. This horror series is not a dull shocker like the first impression suggests. The series combines well-known elements of horror and mistery and pairs them with a unique aesthetic of the Plattenbau, that looks like it fell out of time. Some inspirations from Stranger Things, The Shining or even from some elements of Fargo are clearly visible in the pictures and in the storytelling. Eventhough it's rough and dirty, at the same time it looks minimalistic, graphical, peculiar and difficult to catch hold of where this will lead you. There are barely any explanations, but I never felt like I needed any. The black mass coming from the walls paired with a Jóhann Jóhannsson like organ soundscape and a great sound design, lead you through the uncertainty and the prison-like skyskraper.

So this series is perfect for those who are interested in slow-paced mistery and horror, with a peculiar, sometimes depressing feeling, being dragged into the mess of this way of living. But at the end of the tunnel, there will be some light. It's not for you, if you either expect fast-paced action or horror full of violence.
