I can't imagine what they've been through.

The series really makes you feel the frustration and despair.

I've binge watched the first 5 episodes before going to bed that was a bad idea. Made me think about it for a few hours about all the things that went wrong and the why and how this happened. Also anger about the failures of government.

It's a good series without dramatizing the events that took place. It's tragic enough as it is. It's respectful and haunting.

If you ask me Dr. Anna Pou did the right and humane thing. A very difficult decision but she made it. And she did it.

Saddening that some tried to make her into a villain.

She did what was necessary in order to prevent needless suffering.

Much better than I expected! Enjoyed watching this serie

And who knew Germans had humor?

P. S. Watch it in original language (German) with subtitles it's much better than dubbed.

Formula: Take a bit of Black Hawk Down and bit of Olympus Has Fallen and a bit of The Hunt for Red October mix in some zombies! Blend it all together and...Done!

It's a mess. Don't waste your time on this one.

Lots of potential

After watching the first 9 episodes. I'm pretty certain this could evolve into something like 'The Wire'

The Americans (2013–2018)
8/10
I've underestimated this show.
18 January 2019
I've heard about this show countless times mostly in the US media. I figured it was a very politicized show with the same old message "US = Good, RU = Evil" This is what kept me from giving the series a go. Only in late 2018 I've started watching and to my surprise It's not the case. The show manages to give a fair and near unbiased view about Geo-politics, fractions, countries. espionage, ideologies. Without telling you what to think or how to feel about it. It doesn't demonize any side neither does it glorify the other. For those whom refuse(d) to watch for the same reasons as me, if still curious just give it a try! It's actually a good show

Martyrs (2008)
10/10
Horrid is a understatement.
29 December 2018
I'm not a hardcore horror fan. I went into this unprepared. Didn't read any reviews didn't see any trailers prior I have a horrible friend 'You know, you should watch this movie called Martyrs' So I did.

It's the first time I've went to bed with feeling like I've witnessed something truly terrible & heart wrecking, Just by watching this movie

As if I saw a toddler being run over by a semi-trailer truck, right in front of me.

Without going into to much of the movie itself. I will only say it's a genuine masterpiece. It's a must watch I can't compare it to any other movie And it's very likely you'll never have the thought "You know what! Lets watch that movie again"

I look differently now at pull-down ladders.
