Sci-fi, aliens, corruption, crime, detective work, European feel, great mix of things. Great characters, surprises, keeps you wondering exactly who or what is behind it all and what their motives are. Really like the two main characters that are the detectives, really work well together ("usual" mix of quite different people). The aliens are something different keeping sort of in the background and you do winder who is who and what's going to happen. Love the German setting, makes it better than if set in the good old USA that you might expect of such a thing. All in all a great take on aliens taking over people (or are they?). So pleased I came across this.

Considering SYFY's usual media content the first episode of this series isn't as bad as the previous reviewers are commenting. The first episode is promising.. I will most definitely watch again.

I've watched the first episode and in fairness there was a pleasantly surreal storyline, a few unpleasant surprises and a few good twists and turns, all good romping fun.

The acting was a fairly level playing field, no-one stood out but no-one was less than professional.

I enjoyed the visuals, actors and story enough to keep me engaged all the way through the episode.

I only watched this programme due to the extreme opposites in terms of reviews and what I feel is an unwarranted rating of 5. thoroughly enjoyed first ep. and cant wait for episode 2 :D

I was expecting a normal SyFy channel turkey but this is really good. Some of the low score reviews on here must have been watching a different show. Ok, the CGI is not Hollywood but not many shows are. It's a dark Sci Fi show with a good story and the acting is fine. Give it a go.

The opening credits and how its set in Germany reminds me of Dark which is one of my favourite TV shows of all time. It is also a little bit like Fringe. However there is no time travel or alternative universes in this yet. But I can see how i like it based on these two TV shows; there is a lot going on and you want to keep watching to see what happens. Acting may be a little mechanical and not as much depth to some characters that I would like but it looks good and is an interesting weird idea. I hope they do more Seasons and hope it maintains its good level.
