Then you run

As the series progresses the story gets more and more ridiculous and I started to get frustrated with the poor writing and plot. This series isn't worth watching unless you really have nothing better to do. All of the actors will go on to bigger and better things but this is just below average. It just doesn't make any sense and the characters lack complete empathy, there is nothing here to evoke anything but indifference. Some of the scenes are so unsubtle in their contrived nature that they insult the viewer. Sadly somewhere in this series there's a reasonable story but they've extracted the base material and come up with a poorly constructed drama.

It was hard to finish this one. It became dumb and dumber as it goes.

Story:

The story of the serial killer doesn't contribute anything to the story until the last quarter of the show.

The drug-hunt story has been seen many times before, even performed in a better way.

Many parts of the story are just.noncredible and silly, I will not go into detail to avoid any spoilers.

Filming:

Although stating it should be located in Hamburg (Germany), Denmark and even Norway, almost all scenes in the first half of the show (and some in later episodes) were shot in or near Berlin (Germany) - I am a Berlin local knowing all of these places.

Acting:

Personally I just found those 4 girls annoying. Would not have cared if they all got killed in episode two.

It doesn't become better, in the end there was no likeable character at all.

Don't waste your time watching this one, not worth it.

I'm not sure why this has poor reviews, I was enthralled with this series beginning to end. There was one story line that I was able to work out in episode one however none of my mates caught it until episode 6 or 7 and even then they stayed guessing until the very last episode. I binged this show over two days then again all in one day, just to make sure there was nothing I missed or didn't pick up on as there was some back and forth with a few different storylines, I enjoyed it as much or more the second binge watch I did. It wasn't too over the top gore, not nightmare inducing, it was just the right amount of edge of your seat moments to keep me interested.

The script of "Than you run" is one of its strongest aspects. It strikes a fine balance between suspense, action, and heartfelt moments, keeping viewers hooked and invested in the unfolding story. The dialogue is well-crafted, effectively conveying the characters' thoughts, emotions, and motivations. The series skillfully explores themes of determination, resilience, and the power of human connections, providing thought-provoking moments that resonate long after the episodes end. The twists and turns in the plot keep the audience guessing, creating an addictive and thrilling viewing experience.

There's no art here, no subtlety. The story is not grounded to reality and so it is just silly. All the baddies are silly. The group of middle class girls are silly . The hairstyles are silly. It is a poor excuse to make a b movie to sell to the streaming services. In between the random acts of violence are short childish emotional conversations.
