Kitz

Firstly i have to praise that the series manages to create stunning images in some cases. The Idea behind all of this is a good one and i understand why it was made after all. But i don't understand how the screenwriters could fail at giving these young characters conversations that sound at least kind of matching their age. There were many Dammit-Moments, as Sorkin might call them, were things are said that no real person would say in real life. This blends into unmatching actor performances, where it is hard to tell whether it is the dialogs, the director, or the actors to blame for this. It just feels completely unreal. But still this series has some good things to it, and the plot makes it worth a watch for intrigued viewers.

Great to have a series that's set in the stunning mountains for a change. Though the story was a bit slow and they should've really gotten at least some Austrian actors in (after all it's set in Austria), it was enjoyable to watch. It's not quite 'Elite' but refreshing take on making the alps cool.

It is annoyingly lame. It still works though. I want to know what's the end, even though it is painful to watch sometimes. The acting, the story, all is so unrealistic and not on the good way.

Could it be that Hollywood productions may have influenced us all too much on certain images and that we're not open enough for differences?

"Kitz" has a really good script: the story is developing really well and the end is quite surprising.

It would be unfair to give the entire series a bad rating, just because it's not from overseas (I watched it from Germany in original language). For a small country like Austria this is a really good production and I like the Netflix approach to support local film industries all over the world (and not only the US) for a more diverse media pool.

Seasons greetings, this show is what it says in the tin, nothing more nothing less. Insufferable rich kids (or are they?) and a revenge plot. Lots of glitz and snow and self-medication. Perfect escapism for the season with some hot chocolate or mulled wine, the show even had a New Year fireworks. Can't get out of the house? Netflix has you covered.

If the cast is as hot as Pretty Little Liars or Gossip Girl, it would be a hit for Netflix but kudos for casting the actors who look the part like they're Kitzbühel locals.

Happy New Year 2022 may it be a better year for us all.
