If you can handle German subtitles, this show is pretty great so far. Kind of a darker German version of Stranger Things.

Really, really good and couldn't find anything posted here about it.

Anyone else watched?

The search feature on TD is limited. There are some pretty long threads from back when it was released.

I really enjoyed it. Try not to google anything about it and stay away from spoilers.

Also, you have to focus on the show 100% while watching or you'll miss key ploy points easily. Not a show you can just have on in the background while you do something else.

Probably the best show I’ve ever seen on Netflix. (Maybe 2nd after Peaky Blinders).

You’ve got to watch it in German and read the subtitles. I’ve heard the dubbing is bad.

Also, you really have to WATCH it and focus. It can get outrageously confusing if you’re not giving it 100% of your attention. I went and read a summary of each episode online after viewing it (especially the first season).

It’s hard to talk about it without giving away anything. But it is definitely worth watching.

One of my favorites. There are flow charts online that show all the character connections if you get confused.

This. Got through about 2 minutes with dubbed and couldn't take it. German w/subtitles is 100% the way to go.

Def. not watching it dubbed.

German flows well with English anyway so its not bad reading the English.

Similar to Lupin being a must watch in French vs dubbing.

There are no spoilers here.

Loved it but had to watch it with the sub-titles AND English voice-overs on (sometimes they don't match up but it's enough to make sure you aren't missing anything). The V/O actors/tresses do a surprisingly and consistently good job.

Be careful looking for information on the interwebz, there are diagrams that link everything from season to season but you can easily stumble across something that ends up spoiling everything.

There are "only" three seasons. I say "only" because although the series starts slowly it quickly picks up, then picks up again, then again. Another season would have been too much so three seasons is perfect for this series and the ending is absolutely the most satisfying ending of any science fiction series I have ever watched.

I started with the dubbed version and quickly moved to subtitles. It was much more enjoyable that way.

I binged the first two seasons back when the big threads were on here. I haven’t watched the 3rd season yet.

Some of the German words are similar in sound to the English equivalent. Same thing works for Swedish shows.

Clearly I'm in tbe super super minority but I preferred tbe dubbing. This show is extremely intricate and complex, and I didn't really care for having to read all the dialogue along with following the story. The first like 30 seconds it was an adjustment but after that you don't even notice it. I certainly don't think it takes away from the show or makes you some unsophisticated swine if you prefer dub over subtitles

Seriously. It's already a show where if you blink you'll miss a mountain of information. I don't want to have to speed read at the same time.
