Der Greif

I really enjoyed this; it was fun and interesting, in my opinion. The first episode gave me huge Supernatural vibes; two brothers, an old fashioned car, the atmosphere, even flashbacks. But then it quickly diverged into Stranger Things territory...except the Mom in this show was absolutely horrible almost all the way through the whole first season. I hope they'll come out with a Season 2; I'd like to see what will happen next.

I have nothing more to say about this movie but still have more characters. I really hate that; what is this, a high school essay? Wish the people at IMDb would give their heads a shake and let us write as much or as little as we'd like.

The character pacing is great in the show. The main character is developed slowly and is allowed to learn instead of feeling like an overpowered individual that is just there to save the day.

It never felt too cringe. And for the most part, the show was beautifully shot. It had a cinematic feel to it and the actors did a fantastic job as well.

There were some side characters that I honestly did not care too much for, and it did distract from the main story line. But the supporting characters were awesome!

Also, you'll notice a bunch of great 90's music sprinkled through out the show which made me feel a bit nostalgic! Overall, great show!

English dub is pretty good, beyond the typical lip syncing issues.

Strong acting, good direction, strong production value, pretty good cgi, and prosthetics used for custom/ monsters, story is a lil predictable at times even for people who didn't read the novels.

Similar vibes to stranger things, the hollow, where teens cross over to another world, but this is a darker tale, not for the squeamish or people looking for a happy ending where everyone is fine and healthy with minimal trauma.

Hope for season 2 !

What else to mention,

minimal filler it gets to the point, some threads left open (teen drama bs and some villain stuff).

Other wise resolved.

I binged it all oops,

This show is really good, OST counts with 80's & 90's rock classics and it represents perfectly the Dark Fantasy of that decade, but with an european twist. Love the way how in the mistery flows with the rock music.

It gives vibes of Stranger things x Supernatural on first chapter, but later on, plot takes flight on his own.

Idk why people are giving such bad numeric reviews, actors are more than ok, ambientation and CGI are very different from other shows, the pace of the script is well taken and thought.

Hope this is given credit and they go for season 2, cant wait to see how story continues.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series, very unlike anything else I've seen before. The series had me hooked and I binge watched it, shame there are only 6 episodes. I might have to check out the book that it's based on if it is available in English.

The characters were likeable and well acted and there was a lot of nostalgia for be as I would have been around the same age as the main characters in 1994 and love all of the rock, metal and grunge that they listen to.

I'd highly recommend watching it with the original German audio, with English subtitles, English dubbing kind of sucks and although you can kind of ignore it after a while, there's a lot to be said for watching it in the original audio.
