Finished watching season two last night. I'd enjoyed season one and was looking forward to another stab. 2am and there were two episodes to go. No contest - I stayed awake and watched till the end.

This is not a "supernatural" thriller as some reviews seem to be claiming. The first season drew on traditions peculiar to the somewhat isolated Alpine communities the murders were happening in. But there were no dark forces at work unless you count the twisted mind of the perp. The second season was a straightforward thriller whose protagonists were on the trail of a perverted serial killer.

Characterisation was strong in both seasons. We actually cared about the cops who were dealing with their own problems as well as trying to apprehend the initiator of sets of grisly crimes.

Nothing was as it seemed and there were twists at the end of both seasons with a hint of a cliffhanger at the end of season two. Should a third season be made I'll definitely be revisiting The Pass.

Not being much of a crime story fan, it was by sheer accident that I watched the first episode at all.

But it quickly earned my attention. Spectacular camera work, beautiful nature setting, a thrilling story and brilliant characters. Watched the whole series with my wife and we both thought it was excellent.

My personal favorite, as I love Austria and the Austrian accent, of course was Nicholas Ofczareks portrayal of detective Winter. He has most of the greatest moments. Add some great music by Wolfgang Ambros - and there you have a surprisingly perfect package that Sky produced.

What a suprisingly muder hunt. Great actors, great soundtrack (I mean Hans Zimmer, enough said) great shots and scenery. Totally worth the watch.

Breathtaking scenery... Winter had a solid performance from every perspective A must watch if you're a fan of a dark thriller

I don't know about you ,do you notice small details? I do.Those small details defines craftsmanship. This show is made with love,its clearly visible.The creator put their heart and soul in it. From the mystical cinematography to Hans Zimmer's cryptic background score ,from each and every cast member doing their best to near perfect portrayal of a psychopath,this show excells at everything. Them germans know how to touch viewers heart by their art . Looking forward to season 2.

Gideon and Ellie I ll never forget them. The change in contrast & chemistry between these two is one of the best on screen friendship i have ever witnessed,congrats on winning best drama series of 2020.
