... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

... View More...but I just found it too slow and frustrating with the protagonist doing stupid things again and again. I couldn't make it through the second episode. The thing is, there are TV series for every individual taste. This one just wasn't my cup of tea. The whole paranoia of the internet and computer era has been done quite a bit and if we have learned anything it would be to unplug if this sort of thing were happening to you, not sit around listening to your freaking phone. I'm not paranoid at all but doesn't everyone already cover their webcam on the computer? Perhaps I'll give this another chance and if I do I'll revise this review. Until then, I'm unplugging.
... View MoreOK, first things first: I enjoyed watching this show, even though it made me shake my head more than once - but so does CSI:Miami...The story is not new. In fact, it has been told a couple of times before, and better. The characters are not very well developed, but then again (if you know typical Schweighöfer movies) that does not come as a surprise, really. For example, I still ponder what the conflict between Lukas and his brother may have been... And of course all "hackers" wear hoodies, play computer games all day, speak in strange tongues and hide themselves in badly lit cellars...On the plus side: cinematographically it was very pleasant to watch, the soundtrack sounds interesting and the story was tense enough to keep me watching.You can tell that the writers and producers felt the need to make something "not too German" for the international audience. Maybe they should, next time. The result if their attempts is something that's neither Hollywood nor Germany, somewhere in between. It's nice, but it doesn't linger.*** Spoiler ahead ***My favorite dialogue? Parcel service guy rings the door bell. Hanna opens the door and asks "What's that?" - the guy answers: "A parcel..."I absolutely love the fact that you need to walk deeply into the bowels of a Chinese restaurant, through doors hardly high enough to stand upright, say a code-word, have the boss open a secret, code-locked door to enter the white hacker's "office" - just to find that there are windows pointing right outside to the street...
... View MoreMatthias Schweighoefer mistakes himself for someone who has something to say. Well, he obviously hasn't. Not one single genuine idea in this series, nothing we haven't seen - done with more talent - a hundred times before. So Germany tries to be Hollywood, too? Well, there is a Hollywood already. Who tries to be Germany? BTW: Gwendoline Christie is the much better actress!
