I really liked the setting and the atmosphere. They've created a great 50s "BRD vibe". I really wish the whole show had been up that standard. The story has some loopholes, but I'd be happy to ignore those, IF everything else was good. But most of the dialogues are not very well written and / or delivered, and thus sound rather unnatural. Even worse, most of the smaller (German-speaking!) roles are actually dubbed in German (!), which completely takes viewers who have not been numbed by German TV's almighty dubbing presence completely out of any suspension of disbelief and adds to the "clunkiness" of the dialogues. Such a shame, as this show actually would have had potential and the actors and characters seem to fit rather well.
Probably a lot easier to watch if you don't speak German and don't realize HOW unnatural a lot of the talking sounds. In that case, it's probably pretty enjoyable.
