My children really enjoyed the series. It is pretty exciting and a little scarier than the old series. The love affairs take up more space. Younger children should not watch the series necessarily before sleep (if at all) ... I recommend TV retracted children ages 8 and up, with bigger siblings even more. As the series ends with a quite a surprise and a cliffhanger, I hope that soon there will be a sequel.
We have the series übrigends seen on Prime Instant Video and all results were in German, with good image quality. Some reviews complain about an English first episode, here probably an error has been fixed.
