I also dont know why this is getting some horrible reviews. Dutch like northern Germans are quiet people who don't over embellish. I found I was brought into the story and knew all the characters.
This is not a slasher film but builds to important climaxes. Dubbing was done exceptionally well!
Forget the haters. This is easily one of the best shows on Netflix.
If you like atmospheric TV that takes you to other worlds and realities then this is for you.
Nice bit of subtle politics thrown in for good measure.
I've watched it twice and second time around was much better

I've read a few reviews that have said the series makes no sense, even after watching the whole show. I have to disagree, though the show doesn't hold your hand and reveal every question, it also has just enough, I found, to be enjoyable and suspenseful. Of course not everything is supposed to be taken literally, it's a supernatural/thriller about classism, regret and fear. These key elements are what you should be thinking over while watching, in my opinion. How do the rich elite get to where they are with little or no empathy? At only 8 episodes, the show is an easy watch and really starts ramping it up at episode 4 or so. I will agree some scenes are slow, but if that's still too long for you, maybe skip it. If not, I recommend, especially for the acting and interesting character developments.
This is a good series. The story is interesting, and the execution of it in production is excellent, as is the acting.
The problem is the ending. There really isn't enough time in a 30 minute episode to bring the story to a really good ending that does the story justice. The ending felt rushed by trying to tie-up everything.

I liked Ares Many people didn't but I am not many people now am i?😂
Ares to me is like something that an Ari aster fan or ari aster's assistant would write and direct but it wasn't and hence the irritation caused by the poor screenplay that looks like it lost a few page😂
It's flawed and the screenplay is not detailed.
It's also a little bit on the slow paced side.
I was sold to the show in the opening scene itself but the rest of ep 1 was meh...but from ep2 till 7.... I was enjoying the show so much tbh I was in love with the environment The eeriness the mystery the characters everything was intriguing to me Although i must say....there is not a single character in this show that you will love...or care for except maybe one or two supporting characters.
It's a good show imo....a lil bit underrated again imo seeing the bad reviews it's getting.
And I can't say I was satisfied I mean the premise was good The acting was okay The cinematography is appreciable The bgm is good and well suited
But it doesn't explain stuff Thats the main and only issue I have with this show But I have to say that the last episode was fire and it indeed did some explaination and let us understand what's happening to an extent but still lots left to answer.
The climax is the highlight for me
But it delivers....at least for me it did....but if it doesn't have a second season then I will end up saying the opposite of what I have said about this show😌😉
But in my personal opinion Ares is one horror thriller series that isn't a must watch but definitely a good watch.
