Matthias Schweighöfer as the lead character is a good actor and does a very good job of engendering a sympathetic character in this drama. I wanted to watch this drama just to see him act some more on screen; however, the show plods. Yes, good camera work and vistas but it plods. 1st episode took 35 min before we find out a hacktivist, as they call it, is responsible - revelation of revelations, even a computer Luddite would have figured it out by then. Up to that point you are bored silly with a city power outage, a birthday celebration, his family, business meetings, his on screen wife making sandwiches for their over the top cutesy child...even Matthias Schweighöfer'z acting ability could not save this plodding bore of a crime drama and nor could Amazon Prime's X-Ray feature alleviate the in between scene boredom either.

A well-acted cyber-thriller. Nice to see some unfamiliar faces and that the makers didn't feel the need to make it a beauty contest.The plot isn't novel but it's well constructed and doesn't hand out the answers on a plate. I did find the first 2 episodes rather slow but then it picked up the pace and I had to binge watch the rest. At a total of 6 episodes it doesn't overstay its welcome like most American dramas. It won't change your life but is an easy watch if you're in the mood for a thriller. BTW I don't understand reviewers whinging about bad overdubs. If you can't be bothered reading subtitles then why bother watching anything not made in the English language?

OK, first things first: I enjoyed watching this show, even though it made me shake my head more than once - but so does CSI:Miami...The story is not new. In fact, it has been told a couple of times before, and better. The characters are not very well developed, but then again (if you know typical Schweighöfer movies) that does not come as a surprise, really. For example, I still ponder what the conflict between Lukas and his brother may have been... And of course all "hackers" wear hoodies, play computer games all day, speak in strange tongues and hide themselves in badly lit cellars...On the plus side: cinematographically it was very pleasant to watch, the soundtrack sounds interesting and the story was tense enough to keep me watching.You can tell that the writers and producers felt the need to make something "not too German" for the international audience. Maybe they should, next time. The result if their attempts is something that's neither Hollywood nor Germany, somewhere in between. It's nice, but it doesn't linger.*** Spoiler ahead ***My favorite dialogue? Parcel service guy rings the door bell. Hanna opens the door and asks "What's that?" - the guy answers: "A parcel..."I absolutely love the fact that you need to walk deeply into the bowels of a Chinese restaurant, through doors hardly high enough to stand upright, say a code-word, have the boss open a secret, code-locked door to enter the white hacker's "office" - just to find that there are windows pointing right outside to the street...

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.
