    Enjoyable, tense, good cinematography

    I really enjoyed this series. The plot was very tense, I found the cinematography highly artistic and the actors quite talented. Good job Germany! Also thank you for not trying to copy Hollywood – would have been pretty cheesy. By the way, I never expected to see Matthias Schweighoefer in an action series. Well done, Matthias!

    Too long

    This series is so drawn out. It would have been decent if it were boiled down to a 3 episode mini series (series 1) - yep, that's right, halved. There is so much filler. Also, I might have rated it higher if I hadn't already seen Dutch show "Bellicher". This actually feels like a remake. It's so "paint by numbers", even down to law enforcement agencies having a peeing contest over jurisdiction. I'm sure you'll have seen this all before.

    Great story, you just have to deal with bad English dubbing

    So, you have German, Vietnamese, and English languages throughout the show - if you've ever watched any dubbed movie - you can obviously tell it's being dubbed over in a different language. With that said, I think this show could have done a bit better with that, and why I had to take away 1 star.

    I thought Season 2 was even better than Season 1 (that's where the characters and storyline must be established, so of course it's going to be a bit slower). There are so many twists, and alliances with people you would never expect! But the main character, Lukas, is willing to lose everything for his family - a man on the edge is always interesting to watch the things he will do, and how far he's willing to risk even his own life for the end result. I hope there will be a Season 3. The ending here was OMG!! But, I still feel as if it left some questions unanswered?

    Definitely Recommend - due to a crafty storyline!

    Good show, worth the bingewatch

    Stumbled upon this by accident but ended up watching all six episodes in a row. The soundtrack is nice and I think it was filmed rather well. Character development is lacking a bit but I think the story makes up for it more than well enough. Each episode left me wanting more and with only six episodes making up season one it was easy to plow through the whole thing. It's best if you understand German yourself because sometimes the subtitles can hinder the dialogue. All in all this was certainly worth the watch. The subject matter is especially relevant at this point in time so I would encourage anyone interested in technology to watch the show.

    Better then rated

    OK, the plot has no innovative Ideas. It is a mix out of 24, Mr. Robot and has a often misplaced family Story, as seen in Homeland Season 2. But at the end... who cares? The result from that mix is a good entertaining show, including some visually stunning pictures & a well fitting Soundtrack. My hint to the marketing: Don't use the words hacking, hacker or hacked so often in the advertisements. It will disappoint some viewers.

    As you can see, you have only >100 Votes and only 4 Reviews. And i'm pretty sure, some votes are only against Mr. Schweighoefer, often blamed as "overrated". It is not comparable to Breaking Bad, Mr. Robot or other Top 150 Shows.

    But definitely worth seeing.
