Braunschlag

A series was rarely so close to Austria and its people. The story and idea of director and screenwriter David Schalko is as simple as it is effective. But that is not the point. Its about the people, the crazy characters, the dialect and the everyday problems of a small village at the end of the world.

The actors play their role with excellent credibility - above all Nicholas Ofczarek, whom I already knew from the series The Pass. As well as Robert Palfrader.

The story is mixed with scenes that are sometimes super exaggerated, some of which look like they are from a bad science fiction film. Perhaps the only scenes in which you notice that director and author David Schalko is a self taught artist. The second point of criticism may certainly be the weaker second half of the series, in which the tension partly flattens out completely and the story drags on for a long time. The big finale at the end makes up for a lot.

All in all a rarely, crazy, excellent drama comedy. Absolutely worthwhile and above all an absolute genre hit.
