Seriously, six episodes away from the finale and the authorship is so uninspired that they simply create antagonists out of nowhere? How profane is that kind of storytelling? I'm really missing the intellectual level from the first half. The series hurts itself on its way to extreme interchangeability.

This series, whose statement always was to speak out and to take responsibility in the end, treads every deference built up and takes a completely different path in this season finale. A completely wrong way, especially for the young target audience. Abusing a murder - without considering the detestable things a person may have done - to keep yourself the noose from the neck contradicts me and the foundations of my beliefs in humanity deeply. Suddenly the protagonists seem to be concerned with their own well-being only - and literally walk over corpses. The latent tendency towards self-righteousness that arises over the course of the third season is absolutely repugnant to me and ensures the complete loss of credibility of the characters involved. There is no, absolutely no justification for what the group decides to do. How should further identification with the protagonists work if they end up behaving so hideously and disgustingly and seem to forget all of their development and experience from the previous 38 episodes? I better stop writing; I can hardly put my excessive disappointment about this indescribably wrong episode into further words.

The genre "horror" is known to have already told all the stories in all versions. "Found footage" has its heyday behind. That did not stop some film school students from trying that style again.

Yes, the film had little or perhaps even no budget. But Paranormal Activity got along with $11,000, so that's not an argument. So one searches in "11:23-09:59" in vain for acting talent, as one searches in vain for a realistic self-representation of the actors. At the latest after the first third, you no longer believe the characters' absolutely irrational actions. The script has neither substance nor backgrounds that explain the story at any point. The figures are unapproachable and appear set up (do I repeat myself?). The catastrophe gets even bigger with the postproduction team, who obviously had to try out all the visual effects of the editing program. What should be a picture disturbance seems more like a dirty cut from times in which analog tapes were used.

This 73-minutes-strip might be a thing to you if you, contrary to expectations, enjoy watching drab performers without any real world proximity fight for their lives in the most illogical way.

Conclusion: I have not seen a more bungling work out of the category "What has happened here?". At the very latest in the finale, your mouth will be open - either because you can not really grasp what you have just seen or because you believe you had a bad dream.
