Wir sind die Welle

Yep, the first 2 episodes are quitre mediocre, especially if you're not into typical teen dramas, as they mostly serve building up characters, but the series quickly picks up pace. It is in episode 3 when the show truly finds its way, and episodes 4-6 are just really, really good in showing the naivity of teen rebellion.

Keep in mind, however, that this show is NOT similar to the movie from 2008 or the book. It is just loosely based, and tells much more about naive idealism than about left-wing extremism. In fact, I'd say the show is more critical of the far-right than left wing.

Give this series another chance, because it truly does pick up and deserves a season 2.

Only two episodes in. I was engaged right away. Well-written and well-acted BUT The score..... dumbs down and cheapens all of the above. Thought at first it might be a fluke bad choice, that I could overlook.. but the musical strikes continue to amass and it's bugging me soooooo much.

I VERY much enjoy everything which comes between the auditory insults

It has it faults, the down on his luck copper is a bit stereotypical but on the whole this is a pretty good series that has humour - which is always a plus - very likeable characters and a decent premise. Overall I would call it Fight Club for the - almost 2020's - which is a positive and I very much look forward to the next series.

So first of all. ,Wir sind die Welle' is not really to compare with the movie ,Die Welle'. This series is about making difference and to fight against everything wrong in this world.

I personally, as a german citizen, am not a fan of the german movie industry. But after I saw ,Dark' on Netflix, everything changed. Because of ,Dark's good quality in production, I gave this series a try. And I must say, I'm impressed. The production quality on this thing... unbelievable. 4K, good scenery, great lightning, good actors and I did not cringe while watching. This is extremely good for german quality. The music/sounds were very well picked as well.

Well why did I give this series only 5/10? It's because of the story. First of all: I really hoped to see a series that extends the movie, which is not the case. The story in the series is just bad, really bad. The idea behind it is good, but the implementation is just bad. So clumpy and not logical sometimes. I really can't describe it. It was just bad, and thats very unfortunate, because the production team did so good.

This leads me to another point: Because of the bad story, this series did not get any fame and no viewers at all. This is also bad, because I'm 100% certain that there will be no second season. And I think many viewers will see this as a waste of time, because season one has an open ending (which makes sense because the director wanted to force a second season).

I think it was a nice experiment, very impressed with the protagonist as an actor, he did very well and the production on this is insane, but the story is not to be spoken about. I personally liked watching the series and I would watch the second season as well I think, if there were going to be one.

The leftist political correctness at it's best. If you want to see some17 y.o. so called activists shoving in your mouth all the modern left wing agenda this is your series. For the rest it's just another oversimplified ,full of black or white,my way or the highway,cliches.
