Biohackers

German series don't usually grab many headlines, with stodgy plots and dead-serious characters, but this is somewhat better: decent plot, well-acted and, once you get past the sci-fi hokum, pretty engaging. Film editing is sharp and glossy, with high production values and some good use of flash- backs. It touches on some vitally-important issues in bio-ethics, but it's not going to win prizes for insight and originality. Worth a watch.

No, it's not Dark, but it didn't strike me it was trying to be. For one, it's far less serious. There are exactly zero comedic characters in Dark, while this show has three. The science is over the top, but as long as you're not a doctor or a scientist it's possible to suspend reality and just enjoy the story. It's no less implausible than Rain. I thought the main character was quite good. The pace was a little too quick. I think it would have been better spread out over a few more episodes to give more opportunity for the characters to develop, but they did a good job in the 6 episodes they had to work with. American network television can't manage the same level in 12 or 13 episodes most of the time.

I'm at that point where I'm struggling to find something really good to watch I haven't already seen. That happens when you binge watch too much great television, so you find something to hold you over. This did it for an evening. Looking forward to Season 2.

Storyline is kinda addictive with really short episodes, it made me watch the next episode as soon as one ends.

This is a good show. Yeah Dark is better but both are different ffs! If your only basis of comparison is that it a German Netflix Original then yes, you are going to be disappointed. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't watch this. Biohackers is a fast paced drama that is short and enjoyable af. If you are looking for something to binge in a day, or even under 4 hours then this is the show. The story is compelling, the ideas are new and it just feel more fresh. It doesn't concentrate on teen romance much which is always a good thing and it gets most of the science right, if that matters to you.

Overall, would recommend it and eagerly waiting for its second season.

I was shocked by some of the bad reviews in here, not at all accurate . With the complete lack of anything to watch in covid times I found this really entertaining and enjoyable. Even if there was lots to choose from I would still watch this any day. I do not consider myself an expert critic like many of the people commenting obviously do , just a good show.
