Helgoland 513 (2024– )
9/10
Thoroughly entertaining end of the world
2 April 2024
No idea why 2 of the current 3 reviews are so low. They nearly put me off watching this brilliant german show.

The last 2 episodes which are mostly flashback scenes to how it all began are the best of the series and explain everything. Dark humour seeps withing the dark politics of this island haven. Excellent characters abound from the power mad Beatrice who runs the island, the obsessed doctor Marek who is trying to find a cure. Fiona the rebellious teenager who was born on the island who wants to burn the entire system to the ground. Even her mother , Lola, who is the island propaganda chief , becomes more interesting after a slightly annoying start.

Ignore the hate, if you are after a great story and some dark humour this is the show for you. Fingers crossed for season 2.
