It's definitely not perfect but some of the scenes make it worthwhile. the ending especially left me speechless.
Forget the haters. This is easily one of the best shows on Netflix.
If you like atmospheric TV that takes you to other worlds and realities then this is for you.
Nice bit of subtle politics thrown in for good measure.
I've watched it twice and second time around was much better

This is a good series. The story is interesting, and the execution of it in production is excellent, as is the acting.
The problem is the ending. There really isn't enough time in a 30 minute episode to bring the story to a really good ending that does the story justice. The ending felt rushed by trying to tie-up everything.

Finally a Dutch show that tries something different. Immediately got soaked in to the story because they throw a lot of unanswered plotlines, which was intreaging. Sadly the plotlines didn't get a wholesome explanation. This could be a good thing (David lynch), but here it felt a bit too forced. I have to say i loved the atmosphere, soundtrack and beautiful cameraeork. Also roza her performance was very convincing. Hope Dutch series will keep improving and take inspiration of this one!
I've read a few reviews that have said the series makes no sense, even after watching the whole show. I have to disagree, though the show doesn't hold your hand and reveal every question, it also has just enough, I found, to be enjoyable and suspenseful. Of course not everything is supposed to be taken literally, it's a supernatural/thriller about classism, regret and fear. These key elements are what you should be thinking over while watching, in my opinion. How do the rich elite get to where they are with little or no empathy? At only 8 episodes, the show is an easy watch and really starts ramping it up at episode 4 or so. I will agree some scenes are slow, but if that's still too long for you, maybe skip it. If not, I recommend, especially for the acting and interesting character developments.
