Nous, la vague

Typical teen show with a bad boy and a rich girl that we're supposed to feel sorry for, even though she has a loving family, rides a moped to school, and takes tennis lessons.

The only difference is that this bad boy thinks he's Tyler Durden and wants to incite some chaos to disrupt capitalism.

This show is completely out of touch reality.

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.

Only two episodes in. I was engaged right away. Well-written and well-acted BUT The score..... dumbs down and cheapens all of the above. Thought at first it might be a fluke bad choice, that I could overlook.. but the musical strikes continue to amass and it's bugging me soooooo much.

I VERY much enjoy everything which comes between the auditory insults

The leftist political correctness at it's best. If you want to see some17 y.o. so called activists shoving in your mouth all the modern left wing agenda this is your series. For the rest it's just another oversimplified ,full of black or white,my way or the highway,cliches.

...and you'll have to watch all 6 episodes to get it. (S1) You should not compare it to "Die Welle" or any other movies following a similar theme (the experiment with totalitarianism), because that is simply not the point (until now, at least).

This is a well scripted and well paced story about youth anger, and what will happen if you push it too far.. The main characters are quite believable (I'm from germany, like the series, and these kids could be real for sure - your mileage may vary). The appearance of a far right german party (they only changed the name) mirrors actual political events, and is a trigger, but the story is not reduced to "far left against far right".

The cast is very good, especially the leads. They put only 6 episodes into season 1, which makes the story quite compact, and also managed to put in quite a lot of development of the main characters, which is very pleasing.

I'd be very happy to watch another season.
