This show had the same creators as Dark which we both really enjoyed so we decided to give this show another try. And just as in the first season of Dark we spent most of the time being confused.
I really enjoyed the late Victorian setting in the first couple episodes, and I also enjoyed that everyone spoke their own languages. It's such a small thing, but if the show had been American everyone would have spoken English (maybe with appropriate accents, but not necessarily), but the show is German so everyone speaks their own languages and some of the characters know more than one language while others don't. It made for interesting communication and there were so many times where their body language conveyed more meaning than their words to the person they were speaking to, because the other person couldn't understand their language.
The story quickly entered confusion territory and every prediction we made turned out to be wrong, but it kept us on our toes.
When we only had one episode left I decided to check if the show was renewed so if the ending was unsatisfactory we'd know whether there'd be more or not. Turns out the show was cancelled, which completely killed the vibe. The way the show ended I would've loved to see more.
It wasn't as cool as Dark, but damn it was still cool.
