Not worth the long viewing time
I love a good mystery and throw in a little science fiction and I'm intrigued. First let me address the mechanics - it is a German mini-series but I highly recommend leaving it in German and viewing the English subtitles. Disclaimer - I speak a little German but not enough to watch without subtitles. My recommendation is due to the fact that quite a bit of it is in English since it deals with an international cast of characters. Also, you don't experience the annoying out-of-sync lip movements and you do get to hear the real voices with authentic emotions.
Finally, the content; I won't repeat what has already been written and although I'm tempted, I won't give a spoiler to the ending. However, I will end with this admonition: In my opinion, it is very anti-climatic and leaves you with more questions than answers. To invest this much time watching it only to have the fireworks show fizzle out, was frustrating to me. Is it a good ending? Kind of. Disappointing? To all but the most altruistic, Yes.
