The Signal

Just finished this four part series and really enjoyed it,Not To Be Compared with Constellation which would be a mistake as Signal is an entirely different Story,the only common comparision is Both series have a woman Astroaunt. Signal is a really good THRILLER,MYSTERY however the best part half way through you realise there is a huge conspiracy going on by a vested party and others. I am surprised of the low rating maybe because its German production with Subtitles and you can convert to English Audio on Netflix also very good English voice Dubbing. I did not know any of the actors however each gave their part a good performance.

If you you are are full on Sci Fi Fan this is just ok, I am a fan of Sci Fi,Conspiracy,thriller and Mystery For me "Signal" Offered it all so as Entertainment is concerned for my viewing pleasure.

I rated it a 7.

For any sci-fi + mystery movie it's difficult to write a review without revealing elements of the story, therefore I will trying to be as generic as possible in my review. Let's start first with the good qualities of this very short series: 1) it's short therefore you wouldn't feel like you have invested or wasted a lot of time if you reached the end and felt disappointed, 2) there was good suspense all along,it was enjoyable to feel that suspense, the atmosphere was very well constructed, in the mystery elements I couldn't find any fault in them in hindsight, 3) the acting was good. However the negative and it's only one negative but an important one, I didn't like how it developed towards the end, it was disappointing to say the least. I think it had more potential, they could have done something more with it involving as much science white maintaining the excitement and the fictional aspect of it. That's all I'm going to say without spoiling it. Do I recommend you to go ahead and watch it? Yes go ahead but you should know that the current average IMDB rating of 6 over 10 in my view, accurately reflects the value of this series; knowing that, it's your choice should you decide to go ahead and watch it.

Had a lot of potential but it was disappointing at the end, on one of the worst endings I've ever seen... You spend the entirety of the series thinking and imagining scenarios where in the end nothing like that happened, but not like a twist in a good way, it was a twist where actually nothing happens, absolutely anything... Reviewed it as a 6 because until the last episode it's somewhat good and keeps you imagining how it may end, but eventually disappoints right in the end because nothing falls into place of how it could've been. The acting is good and the dept of the characters as well, 6/10.

There's people on here complaining about the acting? You mean the voice acting? It's dubbed. You're writing a review on the English IMDB. How can you possibly know the acting is bad if you're not able to speak German?.. It's so cringy to read. Nothing based on their physical movements says bad acting. The fact that they're actually making a show on this topic is awarding. There's not enough shows like it. So far it seems good. If you're watching something dubbed it's going to be a little harder to get into. Just be fair to the people making it and show some common sense. No show deserves a 1 unless it's offensive. Rate it appropriately or don't.

The series were deep and mostly focused on us, humans. I loved it. It surprised me in so many ways. It got my attention from the first to the very last second. The ending got me unprepared, too. Unpredictable endings are something I miss in the movies nowadays and this one was a nice getaway from the typical forseen stories. If you want something different and character oriented, I strongly recommend this one. If you are expecting the next "alien against humanity" type of series with battles and guns, don't start. As a movie is closer to "Arrival", but amazingly different in so many ways. Just give it a chance.
