You Are Wanted

I honestly had no real expectations for the show, I only found out about it yesterday (well really I stumbled upon it). I was bored sick of watching the same kind of things so I said what the hell I'll give it a shot. I ended up watching and couldn't stop, It had me engrossed in the story from the start to finish. I like watching foreign movies and t.v shows I mostly watch Asian, I think this is the first German show I have seen if other German shows are as good as this I'll be watching more of them. The only pity is that it was only 6 episodes long I'm going to cross my fingers and hope that a season 2 comes out and it has more episodes. There's no glamorized nonsense in this like the majority of shows out there or nothing blown up every 5 minutes, this has a almost realistic feel to it it's a great show to watch so don't be turned away by the bad reviews and decide for yourself I for one will be watching out for a season two because I enjoyed.

The story line is not necessarily very original but it definitely is an entertaining show and has some really cool shots of Berlin. Characters are relatable even if the main character is making some questionable decisions. Overall a very good show, easy to binge-watch but make sure to watch it in German with subtitles because the dubbing is poorly done.

When I first saw the ratings I said "I'll pass". Bit then it came in front of me again and I just decided to give it a go. And I was pleasantly surprised.

Episode 1 was a bit weird but then the things started getting pretty good. And by the end of season 1 I actually really enjoyed the show. Season 2 then really changed the pace. Everything went fast paced with a lot more action and everything. A lot more fun as well.

Is the acting bad at the beginning? Yes. Is the story a bit weird and it doesn't make sense at first? Yes. But then you start getting things and the things make a lot more sense. Acting improves as well. It still is a German crime drama at its heart. And I loved those when I was a kid. As for people complaining that the english dub is crap - learn to use the subtitles and watch the original. That's why they are there.

Now I am a techy. I work as a programmer. And the hacks and the hacking shown are actually pretty accurate which is a rarity for television. Sure everything is over dramatic, but the basics are actually there. Hackers use a command line, he gets hacked via an attachment that he clicks, he uses tor and duckduckgo for the basics in internet annonimity, ...

So, you have German, Vietnamese, and English languages throughout the show - if you've ever watched any dubbed movie - you can obviously tell it's being dubbed over in a different language. With that said, I think this show could have done a bit better with that, and why I had to take away 1 star.

I thought Season 2 was even better than Season 1 (that's where the characters and storyline must be established, so of course it's going to be a bit slower). There are so many twists, and alliances with people you would never expect! But the main character, Lukas, is willing to lose everything for his family - a man on the edge is always interesting to watch the things he will do, and how far he's willing to risk even his own life for the end result. I hope there will be a Season 3. The ending here was OMG!! But, I still feel as if it left some questions unanswered?

Definitely Recommend - due to a crafty storyline!

OK, the plot has no innovative Ideas. It is a mix out of 24, Mr. Robot and has a often misplaced family Story, as seen in Homeland Season 2. But at the end... who cares? The result from that mix is a good entertaining show, including some visually stunning pictures & a well fitting Soundtrack. My hint to the marketing: Don't use the words hacking, hacker or hacked so often in the advertisements. It will disappoint some viewers.

As you can see, you have only >100 Votes and only 4 Reviews. And i'm pretty sure, some votes are only against Mr. Schweighoefer, often blamed as "overrated". It is not comparable to Breaking Bad, Mr. Robot or other Top 150 Shows.

But definitely worth seeing.
