It is a shame what has been done with Frank Schätzing's exciting novel. No wonder he is dissatisfied with the series. The first three episodes were quite good, but after that the plot is tough and boring. Far too much is focused on the personal problems of the characters, and the exciting novel content comes up far too short. But no wonder when the German ZDF produces something like this. Very bad also the generally gloomy mood and blue color scheme of the series. I am convinced that Netflix, Hulu or HBO would have produced a much better series. The novel definitely deserves a better film. I hope that there might be a better film adaptation yet.
