I have seen 4 episodes now and this show is great! The situations the families and persons are put in seems realistic and you can understand their emotions and dilemmas throughout the episodes. As we near the time for departure, things heat up, but that again is something that feels realistic and i never sat with the felling "why did he just do that". Even when i disagreed with a characters decisions or actions, i still understodd where that person came from so to speak.
I can see its receiving a lot of flak from other user critics here (and everyone is ofc entitled to an opinion! ;-)) regarding the persons/families taking bad decisions. I dont think i ever had it that way. We have characters that sudddenly are told, that they have to evacuate the country, and if they can't find their own jobs/housing in "better" countries, the state will provide housing for them in countries less favores by the characters in the series. That puts tremendous pressure on you and your family to take a LOT of decisions very quickly anf navigate in a volatile situation, when you dont know what other countries will say, and when the laws are changing by the day. So i think its a bit harsh judging them from that perspective, and i actually do think they make rational decisions from their perspective. Are they stupid sometimes? Yeah like the decisions WE would make if we were in the same exact situation.
So i can strongly recommend this series, where you get invested in the charcters. There are strong character-buildup and that makes all the social and moral dilemmas much more interesting and you really feel for these characters, when they are in jeopardy. See it, you wont regret it!
