8 Days

Really struggling to understand why anyone would criticise this series - it's simple a great story with decent acting, realistic characters and provides much food for thought - glimmers of hope whilst experiencing the end. Thoroughly enjoyed. Wow

Starts out fairly overacted and overly melodramatic. But there's some great character building and even more very interesting twists and turns that make it better and better as it goes on. The ending is not only thrilling but also gave me goosebumps due to the personal drama that unfolds as the world as we know it is ending.

After the brilliant Pagan Peak, this is another pretty good German production made by Sky. Actors whose fame never reached beyond "Tatort" suddenly begin to shine, and when you never know what will happen next, you really start to hope that German television has finally arrived in this new century.

Really surprised at it's low score, it deserves higher. Fantastic performances by absolutely everyone and showing the human race at it's very best and it's very worst, with a few surprises thrown in along the way. Every emotion known to man is shown in this and in some parts it's totally horrifying. Hopefully we'll never know, but I'd bet that this was a spot on portrayal of what a self serving bunch of treacherous lowlifes we'd all be if these circumstances ever come to pass. Kudos to the actor who played the policeman, his last scene made me cry.

Gets better from episode to episode. You just have to discuss or think about: would you do the same as the characters? Great classic music. And a lot of fun for people who know Berlin to see the empty burning streets and abandoned places. People who criticise overacting have to think about the most extreme situation of Armageddon.

The show started of well with a good plot, good character and character building, twists and turns and good camerawork. Very binge-worthy.

But... like "Lost" and "GoT", the ending is very, very disappointing. The whole show builds up to a massive letdown. Therefore I don't recommend spending time on it.

Also over the top sex scenes (sometime close to porn) that don't always add up to the story.
