Soulless performer, Maues spectacle illogical scenarios of a pure retort Babies. So soon the summary of criticism.
Yes, the series is a product for the masses to make a commission to quota and it shows her also. And yes, acting white at the beginning, only the leading actor to convince. Too shallow remains the characterization of the other protagonists.
However, it is unfair to accuse a series, it was commercially. Which TV product primetime is not it? It is also not true that the supporting cast is not allowed to develop on the consequences because they do very well, albeit in small steps. Maybe too small to show the full potential of Quotentod. With the script, I can make friends quite, it's not a documentary, and I do not run with Bond in the cinema after the opening of the hall and yell: Unrealistic!
It is well-staged entertainment that commits rarely very large errors, but also no set standards. Judging impartially serve up some things and leaves the series 4-5 Follow time, you will be entertained but solid and looks forward to the next. That's more than most can say TV productions in Germany by themselves. Personally, I can relay (currently I'm in Episode 12) recommend.
Pace, average, Synchro, music selection and plot are a good basis and not have the consequences seemed to be only a stopgap. On The Contrary. By an insight into the lives of different characters, won the season with every episode of format. For full marks me the complex representation of the protagonists and a higher credibility of the action is absent.
Should change significantly, on the way through the rest of the episodes, I will update my impression. If not, have fun with it ... I have him so far beyond any doubt.
Addendum of 10/06/2014:
After I've seen the first season now complete, I can largely confirm the above assessment. Solid, hand-ordinary series, without being a real highlight.
The computer effects are cheap and always recognizable as such, the spectacle is okay, not really inspire (also starts Raymond's about the overall consequences eternally same facial expressions to get bored rather than that you get a complex and interesting side to face).
Measure of the eternal series leaderboard are just (not content, but rather in the implementation) Homeland, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, to name just a few fairly recent top series. These beads missing a huge piece. But If you look at what the viewer is otherwise offered at "premium content", it remains at a buy recommendation. Whether the bands with 3 or 4 stars, is as always a matter of taste. A non-starter is The Black List, anyway.
