Transferts

I was lucky enough to see this a few months ago in dubbed German. If you liked the Swedish original version of "Real Humans" chances are very good you will like this too. I hope this show will come to a US streaming service...it will not disappoint those who like dystopian stories, and stories about second chances. 8 Feb 2017

This six-part series is riveting TV. An interesting-enough premise (transferring a mind into a new body) soon brings a whole host of unforeseen problems. So many parallels with current issues of refugees, surveillance, police state tactics, church-state divide, political donations, and many more. Episode 2 is a little light on as it takes time to fill some backstory, but the pace and plot soon pick up. Do not miss this.

Watched all episodes in one go on ARTE and wondering how this show has so little feedback on IMDb, it got me totally hooked.

If you've loved Ghost in the Shell (the original series), you will like this show even better. Just start watching the first episode if you're still unsure, you won't be disappointed.

Transferts is not necessarily sci-fi in the classic sense. It's way more about mankind, god, believe & the role of religion, science or the government in our society. The series manages to create aside of stereotypes a complex yet effective sometimes even disturbing atmosphere. A lot of questions, some of them unpleasant and controversial, are asked and not all are answered in the show which is another aspect I really enjoyed. The cast is great, the soundtrack perfectly matching, the story absolutely relevant and smart.

This is a binge-worthy yet disturbing show. Some of the evil is utterly disturbing.
