ZDF goes Netflix again. And this time they succeed. Starts well, sucks you in and gets actually better from episode to episode. The two timelines are briliantly interwoven. Very good acting, with Rieke Seja (young Anna), Maria Simon (grown-up Anna), Julius Nitschkoff and - surprisingly - influencer and dance contestant Julia Beautx standing out. My complaint: This is absolutely tragic and serious stuff and sometimes the slick construction does not quite fit. For example, when a teenage suicide is just another ooops-detail. So nine stars only. But give it a try! Since this was a phenomenal success, a second season will certainly happen.
