Dignity

This series was torturously slow, and filled with so much ancillary drama it was hard to watch. But I did endure the entire series mostly to see whether justice for the evil perpetrators at Colonia Dignidad were ver brought to justice.

I don't want to be a spoiler (though by reading the historical account you can find out what their fate was), so I will only say that the ending left me quite disappointed.

The acting was OK, but the pace was utterly glacial to the extreme and fictional drama created around the historical aspect was drawn out almost unbearably.

The only reason I gave it a five is for points for someone at least making some kind of film about this hell on earth that existed literally for decades and was guilty of the most heinous acts and crimes imaginable. I'd never heard about it and it is just another clue as to the depths of depravity man is capable of.

In my estimation true justice was never really served in this case, most likely to protect the vast network of the powerful guilty parties involved. Just another sad commentary on the world in which we live.

Colonia Dignidad was a very dark chapter in the German and in the Chilenean history. We should handle this topic with respect, not as an interesting idea for a fancy fake story. It is filmed good, the actors play quite well, but still there is the sad feeling about endless fake facts smearing dirt on this serious history.

If you want to loose your precious time, that´s the show. Horrible

It's amazing to see that the streaming channel Walter Presents is still in operation. This channel seems to look for all the second rate or failed TV series in Europe and rebroadcast them. Dignity, is no exception to this. The story is told by constantly changing timelines that lead to total chaos and confusion for the viewer. The scenes are non-linear, just stuck together randomly. Some scenes just seem to have no relation to the one before or the one after. As with many European productions, the actors tend to stare at one another for prolonged periods, or just stare into space. The series really does very little to tell this important story.

It's a good story but as has been said by others here it's far too long and slow. It could have been told in a few less episodes with less useless background noise which did nothing to drive the plot. Also some of the acting was wooden and just looked artificial, even groanworthy at times, such as one of the main detectives who kept smiling a truly ghastly smile all the way through. The 'brother' Pedro needs to take more acting lessons. The most unconvincing character in the entire series.

Nevertheless, I watched it all the way through just to see a decent enough conclusion and a hopefully happy one.
