Gestern und heute

Pretty nice episode. It explains a lot more from the past what is good. I loved the music sound in background at the ending.

A certain character finds himself alone and disoriented.

Episode three continues the central mystery well and looks a certain characters from a very different perspective. The sci-fi premise is very intriguing, particularly if you like this type of concept on screen. It follows up the final reveal in a way that does not disappoint.

Some shows with this theme would focus on satisfying the appetites of viewers who like nostalgia, but this (so far) this sticks to the characters and key plot developments.

Visually, I think it is even better than the first two as it includes an element of period design that is very well done. This combined with the atmospheric cinematography, lighting, sound and editing makes for quite immersive experience. The end sequence is memorable.

It's an 8.5/10 for me, but I round upwards.

I think the acting of the dubbing is the most disappointing part. A few times in each episode I switch back and forth between the original and the dubbed audio because I'm trying to learn German, and often the English dub doesn't capture the tone and performance of the original. Any time you're watching a TV show or film that's in a foreign language, I recommend subtitles over dubbing.

Sometimes the audio and subtitles don't match, but even the German audio doesn't always match the German subtitles. I think subtitles are trimmed and tweaked for reading efficiency no matter the language, while a foreign language dub will be tweaked match the visuals. A sentence that needs 12 syllables in the dubbed language but 7 syllables in the language the actor is using may need some alterations in the dub.

The third episode continues the show's slow, deliberate pace, but now the time travel element is firmly established. While this gives the audience a clearer understanding of the mystery's direction, the motives behind the kidnappings and who is responsible remain hidden.

We're introduced to familiar characters in the past, which adds depth to the story and context to their relationships. Mikkel's presence in this earlier time provides new interactions that expand the scope of the narrative without resolving the central questions. It's another measured step forward that strengthens the show's theme of history repeating itself.

The story has now started to get interesting and I feel invested in it.
