It started well, I was invested, the war, KaDeWe, history. I could ignore for the sake of art that the background was just the background today in Berlin, the graffiti, the cars, the people dressed in jeans and modern day clothing. I was watching it for the storyline and the main characters and as I said it started well. But then it focused on nothing but lesbianism. It wouldn't let go and move on, the viewer knew what part this played in the story but it was as if the production had the bit between the teeth and just wouldn't let go. If a viewer wants to watch this many sex scenes then there is soft porn available with hardly any more storyline to it. It's frowned on in that era, do we really need that point constantly reiterated? The storyline lacks one thing, and that is the whole storyline, it lacks emotion. It doesn't make the viewer feel anything. It tries to titillate but we've all seen this before. It steals parts of Babylon Berlin, not the emotion, but the Cabaret (again plagiarised) music hall scenes. It could have been so much better, it could have been interesting beyond the first episode.
