Great series, great story, very interesting and well told.

The dubbing is horrible. I don't know why there was no emphasis placed on the dubbing, but I'll disregard the dubbing for my rating.

I felt like Malick Bauer was trying so hard to use these facial expressions, where he smiles even though he is hurting on the inside, but they didn't connect with me, because they were just all over the place and not meaningful in those moments, especially because he overuses them. In episode 4 or 5 he is walking this girl home and he does that constantly, then has this major outburst and goes back to the grinning. I know what he was trying to do it, but he just overacted badly and he tends to do that a lot in the series. Which is sad, because he seems to have potential. I think this role was just too big for him to carry.

Contrary to the other comments, I don't get the whole problem with him being well build and being such a helpless nerd. I know a lot of gym nerds. What I did find irritating is the fact that the actor often just runs through some dialogues, which makes him hard to understand in German, even for a German person.

If the main actor was better this series could have easily been a rewatchable 7 because the story is so intriguing. I am really torn between giving it a 5 or a 6, but I'm going to go with the 6 because I love the fact that this was made.

It's so funny how people online hate Til Schweiger, but the masses still get moved by him. His fanbase of old Germanys got the movie they needed with this.

I actually think Til did a great job here. Yes it is a completely white, blonde cast, looking like they got fresh out of a hitler wet dream, which is probably why old Germans love the poster enough to go in and watch the movie and yes some of the jokes are offensive, but it's just a movie, people.

The acting is above average for the most part, the sound design is excellent, the cinematography is gorgeous, the story, well- it works. Lets see what they do with 3.
