Tribes of Europa

I'm up to episode 3 and I'm enjoying it. The acting is not bad at all - not sure why other reviews say so. I just switched to original German and English sub. I don't mind the occasional German to English switch, I actually like it. The storyline so far is good. I thought this would be another cliche boring TV shows but the story got me in. I hope the remaining episodes will be good but so far I'd say it's worth watching if you are into post apocalyptic genre

It's hard for me to get into shows in a foreign language and I find when they dub something in English it looses all the original emotion and power of the actors performances. That said, I was hooked 30minutes in! Love the story, while the filming locations aren't exotic or elaborate the performances by the cast are more than enough to not really notice. Tone and pace are exceptional for most part and characters are very well written with plenty of depth to explore. There is a fairly strong sense that there may be some deep, surprising secrets in many of the characters and I truly hope we get to see them explored more in future seasons. Netflix has a tendency to cancel series that viewers love so hopefully this isn't another addition to that list. My advice, watch it all, episode 1 through 6, asap. Then watch it again! I gave an 8 out of 10 because they could have done better with building the world the story exists in as well as developing some of the more intriguing characters story for viewers. They only did 6 episodes, an 8 episode arch would have given ample time to add those little things in and would have resulted in viewers connecting with the characters and world better. Despite that, still amazing show!!

Pros:

• Good performances with the exception of David Ali Rashed as Elja.
• Balance of tone throughout.
• World building is excellent. Especially when following Kiano's storyline.
• Dark and weird. Some bloody action.
• Moses
• Sets itself up for an excellent second season.
• The fast pacing of the show means you may never be bored but it hurts some things as well.

Cons:

• Frustratingly short. Six episodes was too little and I was left wanting more. I wish it didn't feel so rushed at times.
• Limited character development for a lot of the side characters because of it's length.
• Predictable. It's easy to guess where things are going once the stories macguffin is introduced. Kianos storyline however is always interesting and has the only moment in the story that caught me off guard.
• Elja. The performance is boring and so is the characters plight.

Overall: Tribes of Europa was entertaining and I was left wanting more. The world-building is excellent and a few of the performances are great. If you think you may be interested in the show after watching the trailer Tribes of Europa will provide a few hours of solid entertainment. I can only hope that next season takes a few more risks and has more time to spend with the characters. A very solid 7/10.

I don't know why some people are calling it a kids show. It's full of blood, nudity and violence. Not something you will show your kids.

First three episodes are little slow. But last two episodes really kick things up several notch. The final episode is the best one no doubt so if you stick by it the final pay off is worth it. It's from the same guys who brought us "Dark" so even when it's average its still better than most science fiction shows i have seen this year.

A blend of the 100, revolution, the cinematography from children of men and a sense that mad max could be happening in Australia and it wouldn't be out of place in the world that has been created.

Solid first season I would have preferred an extra 2 episodes, it did not feel rushed or like anything was cut out. Just enjoyed the series enough that it left me wanting more.

The first three episodes are very predictable and each character fit mould, the second three episodes more than compensate for this short coming.

Near infinite possibilities for season 2, very hopeful this one gets renewed to finish the story.
