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.

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

While the script is not a stand out, this show is illustrative of how the way you present it goes a long way. There's some satisfying and unsatisfying subversions of the genre but it's mostly a straight forward story.

What made it excellent is its consistency and commitment to telling a realistic, sometimes lacklustre story via fantastic editing, structure, performances, and especially cinematography. It's just a complete pleasure to consume and feels innovative for the genre, which tends to dwell in realism while sometimes struggling to make that aspect of it interesting. The jump cuts, flashbacks, shot compositions - all of it makes every part of the story compelling television.

If another season had an even more intelligent script with a more pronounced/interesting thematic through line, I think this could reach True Detective s1 status. It has a lot of potential.

The producers are the same who did DARK, which is an excellent recommendation. Excellent mood and beauty of mountain landscapes on the border between Germany and Austria. Great actors, they simply "do the job". Strong, addictive, sharply confusing thing requiring attention of the viewer .

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