Cassandra

I saw the original version in German and I liked it very much in acting perspective. I always prefer to watch in original language because it catches correctly the full experience of the movies. I read some comments about the husband not believing his wife through all the series, until something more dramatic happens... But that only sounded strange or odd until we know that her sister had mental disease and committed suicide. It wouldn't be hard to believe that she was suffering from post traumatic problems after her sister committed suicide or worse: she could be also having some kind of mental disease. So I think that without telling much more, the story is not that bad. The whole story is fantasy so we should not complain that even now would not be possible to produce a Cassandra. After all I enjoyed and only hopped it had a closure , a proper ending .

We thought this was brilliant. Yes you can pick holes in it if you want to but you can do that with everything and it's just really not necessary. It's a good storyline with plenty of detail, twists and the acting is good. The story really ties together the further you get and we found ourselves grippped on what was going to happen next, looking forward to another episode every night. We went in with low expectations because of the bad reviews and absolutely loved it. Theres not really much else to say but I'm writing to fill the word count... I don't want to add spoilers. Give it a go and I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed!

The show starts out quite tropey and leads one to believe it'll be like many of the other AI film/show flops. Initially it felt like it could have been a movie instead of a limited series but the plot does diverge from the usual "AI turns evil due to a technology issue". Since there's more of a backstory to how this "technology" came to be, it makes the overall show much more watchable and adds the missing human element that many others fail to deliver. The plot holes are tired tropes are still there but there's enough meat on the bone to keep you interested to see how it ends. Recall the Black Mirror episode "Black Museum" as the basis for whether or not you think you'll like the show. Black Mirror was still better but you get an idea of what this is gonna be.

It's not a show I'll be telling everyone about, but it's a fine show to watch when you can't find anything else.

I was skeptical at first... Another AI robot vs the hose, family, husband... whatever.. Not a M3GAN, SUBSERVIENCE or T1M.. Not quite on a Black Mirror level, but more Jetsons meets The Hand That Rocks the Cradle... meets Frankenstein.. I like the 70's appeal, decor and style, at first it didn't make sense, based in a iPhone era time.. but it comes together well.. kind of keeps you guessing.

But it actually has an engaging storyline... And the acting is good.. Dubbed sound and speech is good.. Definitely worth a multi-day binge.. but the episodes run together smooth and easy to keep the next one playing..

I think it important to push this generation and telling them they did something great here.

Of course not everything in this series is fantastic but after watching it, i though this is something good that opens new doors, rising the bar for quality of plots, depth and passion.

At the beginning i felt that the charakters are just actors trying to act as a family and trying really hard to show intimacy within a family. It came close to the german feeling of fremdscham.

But i did not want to judge too early or bash the german filmmaking because thats no helping anyone and its just too easy.

So i stopped focusing on the slightly negative things and enjoy the good things. First i was afraid it would be film/series about a robot getting out of control. But how the plot turned out was just surprising. At the end i thought that a lot of love and work went into that series. I think the acting could be better but....there are enough of good acting series/movie with bad plots and no soul for the project. The dystopic ideas of black mirror are well intergrated without being too much of a copy-paste. Producing a series that picks up the modern topics such as AI, mix it with a thriller and use the 70's setting created an unusal fun for me. I want to thank the whole crew for putting that much passion and thoughts into this project. I enjoyed watching that.
