Just finished this four part series and really enjoyed it,Not To Be Compared with Constellation which would be a mistake as Signal is an entirely different Story,the only common comparision is Both series have a woman Astroaunt. Signal is a really good THRILLER,MYSTERY however the best part half way through you realise there is a huge conspiracy going on by a vested party and others. I am surprised of the low rating maybe because its German production with Subtitles and you can convert to English Audio on Netflix also very good English voice Dubbing. I did not know any of the actors however each gave their part a good performance.

If you you are are full on Sci Fi Fan this is just ok, I am a fan of Sci Fi,Conspiracy,thriller and Mystery For me "Signal" Offered it all so as Entertainment is concerned for my viewing pleasure.

I rated it a 7.

For any sci-fi + mystery movie it's difficult to write a review without revealing elements of the story, therefore I will trying to be as generic as possible in my review. Let's start first with the good qualities of this very short series: 1) it's short therefore you wouldn't feel like you have invested or wasted a lot of time if you reached the end and felt disappointed, 2) there was good suspense all along,it was enjoyable to feel that suspense, the atmosphere was very well constructed, in the mystery elements I couldn't find any fault in them in hindsight, 3) the acting was good. However the negative and it's only one negative but an important one, I didn't like how it developed towards the end, it was disappointing to say the least. I think it had more potential, they could have done something more with it involving as much science white maintaining the excitement and the fictional aspect of it. That's all I'm going to say without spoiling it. Do I recommend you to go ahead and watch it? Yes go ahead but you should know that the current average IMDB rating of 6 over 10 in my view, accurately reflects the value of this series; knowing that, it's your choice should you decide to go ahead and watch it.

I enjoyed this up until the last episode. The acting is great. Another review questioned criticism of the acting based on dubbing but I only ever use subtitles.

Setup is done well and drew me in, there is enough going on to make you curious although some of the revelations are dragged out, the effects are good enough with only one or two dodgy bits of CGI. The relationship between Sven and Charlie is nuanced and convincing. Most of the other characters are delivered well although space jock being allowed on the ISS seemed ludicrous.

The ending felt a bit anti-climactic to me as well as completely infeasible but the message about how we deal with crises as a species seems sadly accurate at the moment.

Final comment - one other scathing review poured scorn on the idea of someone being able to listen in on radio transmissions between Paula and Charlie. If you're going to watch sci-fi, maybe consider understanding a bit of science first.

There is an interesting idea here, but for me it got lost along the way. A female astronaut returns home, almost since she nearly purposely crashes their capsule home, but she doesn't only to perhaps be the reason for the plane to crash while taking her back home to her family. I found it curious that there was not a moment of containment for contamination for anyone on the spaceship after returning to Earth. I did like Florian David Fitz in the lead somewhat, but the real star in this is a child by the name of Yuna Bennett in the role of the astronaut's daughter, I don't know how old she is, but she was rather impressive. It has it's interesting moments, but it has more boring or incomprehensible ones and I was disappointed, though glad it was on four episodes.

The series were deep and mostly focused on us, humans. I loved it. It surprised me in so many ways. It got my attention from the first to the very last second. The ending got me unprepared, too. Unpredictable endings are something I miss in the movies nowadays and this one was a nice getaway from the typical forseen stories. If you want something different and character oriented, I strongly recommend this one. If you are expecting the next "alien against humanity" type of series with battles and guns, don't start. As a movie is closer to "Arrival", but amazingly different in so many ways. Just give it a chance.

On one hand, I'm thinking why I wasted so much time of my life to watch it, but at the same time, it's a masterpiece. It's neither of the two beliefs the series could offer much more, but of course, that's in my own mind and imagination. A very nice message in the end. The actors perform quite well you should watch it in German to see for yourself. It's more of a sci-fi within the viewer's mind than a regular sci-fi in the full sense of the term. Personally, I watched all the episodes in one go I don't know if it would hold my interest if I watched it sporadically. The involvement of politics may spoil the overall story for some, but it's realistic, I believe, especially considering the ending. I can say I felt a similar frustration to what I experienced when I watched "Don't Look Up."

There's people on here complaining about the acting? You mean the voice acting? It's dubbed. You're writing a review on the English IMDB. How can you possibly know the acting is bad if you're not able to speak German?.. It's so cringy to read. Nothing based on their physical movements says bad acting. The fact that they're actually making a show on this topic is awarding. There's not enough shows like it. So far it seems good. If you're watching something dubbed it's going to be a little harder to get into. Just be fair to the people making it and show some common sense. No show deserves a 1 unless it's offensive. Rate it appropriately or don't.

Had a lot of potential but it was disappointing at the end, on one of the worst endings I've ever seen... You spend the entirety of the series thinking and imagining scenarios where in the end nothing like that happened, but not like a twist in a good way, it was a twist where actually nothing happens, absolutely anything... Reviewed it as a 6 because until the last episode it's somewhat good and keeps you imagining how it may end, but eventually disappoints right in the end because nothing falls into place of how it could've been. The acting is good and the dept of the characters as well, 6/10.

I enjoyed the short series without expecting too much. I read many begrudging reviews on the show in advance. It definitely has a plot which is not too hard to follow and entertaining on a dramatical level.

For me it's far away from a true Sci-Fi movie.

In first instance the show deals with the relationship between the family members of the female astronaut. At the second glance there is a mystical secret that has to be revealed and with it comes a political problem that has to be solved.

The comments of other reviewers concerning the psychological instability of the female astronaut not being checked on in Germany is nonsense. The medical records belong to the patient and as one learns the astronaut is hiding her secret by destroying her medical report after having had a psychotic issue linked to drugs which she just took once.

All in all an utterly enjoyable mini series.

Well, I'm disappointed. It was an interesting setup, but half-way through the whole thing just completely comes apart at the seams: things make little sense, too many cliches, and a silly ending. Just a lot of illogical stuff, and it desperately tries to be grander and more significant than it actually is, or can be, given the plot. Oh, and the actors mostly aren't fantastic either. I actually liked the girl, but Florian David Fitz for example is primarily doing his best wet towel impression and it was really hard for me to feel for him in the way I was supposed to.

Save yourself some time, watch "Dark" instead. And if you've watched that already, watch it again. Or, you know, one of the many other series available on Netflix - but not this.

I'm a German speaker btw, so I always enjoy good German language movies or series and I really wanted to like this, but - this ain't it, chief.
