The story follows many different people but the problem is that only a few of those plots and people are interesting, long parts of every episode was so boring I could fall asleep. If all meaningless and boring subplots were removed each episode would probably be around 10 to 15 minutes only, then this would have been a great series.

The romance between Sebastian and Julie was interesting and I wanted to watch more of it, they had a very good chemistry that made me want to root for them even though it was morally wrong.

If you wanted to watch this show because it was tagged crime then it is the wrong show for you. The whole crime plot feels like a little add on and it is not the main theme.

It is a long movie (almost 3 hours) and it defiantly felt like it. The story in whole felt quite aimless. There was long parts of the movie where it felt like nothing particularly was going on.

However, I decide to watch the movie because it was taged as a romance and it actually delivered. The part when Tom Schilling and Saskia Rosendahl were falling in love was undeniably beautiful but only lasted for a very short moment, then a boring story continued. If you have watched Never Look Away then you will probably, during the falling love part, be very much reminded of the similarities. Personally, I think it was the highlight of the movie and to be compared to a masterpiece like Never Look Away is only positive. Though, the movie felt a little bit like a bad knockoff of Never Look Away.

The movie never made me care for the characters and thus I didn't really care what happened to them. At most I started to care about Fabian's friend Stephan but only slightly. And that was the problem with the movie it didn't evoke emotions even in the moments when you should care about the characters.
