I personally liked the series. I had to watch it dubbed because I don't speak German and don't read the subtitles fast enough to be able to follow. Some of the voices really did not work in the dubbed voice, for example, My-Lei the Vietnamese woman. She had a really nasally awful voice speaking her own native tongue, but the woman who was her dubbed voice had this kind of syrupy sweet voice. Then there was the Admiral. WTH? He was wearing a uniform that was not really a navy admiral's uniform, had captain insignias and it appeared he was one of the fighters in the Afghan War with Nelly which means he wasn't necessarily an officer. So WTH was he really? CIA I guess, but you'd think that the writers/producers would research that a little bit more closely.The 2nd season was a tad better than the first, however, I want to know if they are going to have another season, because the ending definitely leaves the door open for more, even though quite a few of the supporting characters were killed off. I would like to know what the last scene when Franke is arrested again by the CIA after sneaking to see his son and give him a recording of everything that happened that led up to their now having to be separated. The entire last episode was of Franke getting very reckless because he saw his wife die...or did he? She told him with what he thought was her dying breath that she was sorry for betraying him, but that it was the only way she could be with their son and not have to be looking over her shoulder any longer. So his seeing his wife looking over their son's shoulder as he is arrested for the last time by the CIA leaves you believing that (1) the CIA faked her death so that he would become reckless, which he did, and (2) that he now had a reason to try to escape yet again so he could get back to his wife and son and get a final revenge on the CIA...especially since the CIA had the head of the BND arrested, which now left him more sympathetic to Franke.One other thing that I thought was a bit too idiotic, was that when the Admiral and the CIA had locked Franke in the cell and had him hanging from the rafters by his hands, the Admiral beat the crap out of Franke's legs and chest and basically his entire body, and yet when Angel helped him escape and he and Angel and My-Lei took the entire staff including the Admiral and locked them in a cell, Franke was walking as though he had never had any injuries. That was unrealistic. If someone is beaten as badly as Franke was...beaten like he was a pinata with a very thick wooden post, I don't think he would have been able to walk, much less think very clearly.

"You are wanted" is a heart-pounding, fast-paced, German cyber thriller. There is the original German version with subtitles, which is the default, as well a link to the dubbed (in many languages) version of the film. I didn't initially notice there was a dubbed version, and had been watching the original. I re-watched episode one of the dubbed version, but the voice-overs were over-emphasized and not at all convincing. I don't mind subtitles, so I stuck with the original.Unless you are living in a time capsule that is entirely free of cell phones, laptops, iPads and digital devices, this series is one that will most likely have you looking over your shoulder and changing your passwords. Being "plugged in," to the degree that we are in today's society, certainly gives cause for concern when it comes to our digital footprint and online security. This series capitalizes on the fears and insecurities we have surrounding our privacy. It shows us just how exposed and vulnerable we really are."You Are Wanted" is a fast-paced, action-packed, thriller that takes place in modern day Berlin. Lukas Franke, the main character, is a young, intelligent, hotel manager with a wife and son. He finds his life slowly unhinged, piece by piece, by unknown cyber attackers who infiltrate and twist every file on record about him, framing him for a crime he did not commit. This of course puts in jeopardy both his personal and professional relationships, threatening even the ones most dear to him, his relationships with his wife and son. But are these hacktivists simply out to ruin Lukas' life as part of some personal vendetta, or is there more to their agenda here, a bigger picture involving a greater "good," perhaps?The first episode opens with a man who frantically sets fire to a room full of various mediums of data, and then to himself, before jumping out a high-rise window to his death. We aren't told who he is, or why he is doing this, but it is clear that this mysterious hacktivist is central to the story-line.Immediately following this, we see Berlin experiencing a complete blackout, also caused by these "hacktivists". Lukas is at the hotel working when the blackout hits, and is tasked with calming a conference room full of frightened and irritated participants. One man there becomes particularly angry, and it is he who makes the first move that sets the game in motion. It is at this time that Lukas first, unknowingly, meets the man who will takeover his identity.Amidst this turmoil, Lukas meets a mysterious woman who tells him that she too is being set-up by these very same hacktivists, but it is unclear to Lukas whether she is telling the truth and can be trusted. Hoping that he hasn't just made the biggest mistake of his life, he joins forces with her, in an attempt to identify these unknown hacktivists and stop them before it's too late for both of them.Meanwhile, Lukas' wife is hard at work as an artist when she is contacted, and subsequently commissioned, to illustrate the characters in a video game for the man who created it. Her son falls in love with the game, and is unwittingly drawn in as a pawn, becoming part of something much deeper.The series has many twists and turns, features a great cast, and the characters are all very relatable. Part of what makes this series almost entirely believable is the fact that all of this mayhem is occurring in the lives of average, everyday, people. People that could just as easily be you or I. Lukas, and those closest to him, are being pulled into this vortex of chaos, tasked with solving this mystery, while at the same fighting for their lives. The further down the rabbit hole the story-line takes you, the better this series gets. This race-against-time, thriller, is a "think for yourself" series, there is no spoon-feeding of plots here. Which is another reason that I really enjoyed this series.

I really likes the first season, there are a few interesting turning points in the story and there is never a lull in the storytelling. I really appreciated finally having a German show to watch on demand with my parents, since I'm absolutely no fan of the German dubbing.The show looks great, the cinematography is really good especially for a German TV Show, so is the acting. Only Alexandra Maria Lara's character was a bit too stereotypical for my liking.

OK, the plot has no innovative Ideas. It is a mix out of 24, Mr. Robot and has a often misplaced family Story, as seen in Homeland Season 2. But at the end... who cares? The result from that mix is a good entertaining show, including some visually stunning pictures & a well fitting Soundtrack. My hint to the marketing: Don't use the words hacking, hacker or hacked so often in the advertisements. It will disappoint some viewers.As you can see, you have only >100 Votes and only 4 Reviews. And i'm pretty sure, some votes are only against Mr. Schweighoefer, often blamed as "overrated". It is not comparable to Breaking Bad, Mr. Robot or other Top 150 Shows.But definitely worth seeing.
