Review of Der Schatten

Der Schatten (2023)
How not to make a production
4 June 2023
To be honest, i thought that the novel this series is based on was compelling. However, all the intriguing and provoking material in the novel is not reflected in the series. Setting in Vienna is good, actors are plausible, but somehow it does not work. It does not flow to hook the audience to binge all the episodes.

From the beginning there is this urge to open the 6th episode, watch the ending and get over with it. In the book there was this bomb in the middle of the pages that was ticking. Will she commit what she is set to commit or not? What is happening?? It was a good thriller.

I am afraid to say the series is fairly boring. The suspense is not there. You just want to turn your eyes and move onto something else. Too flat. I am a fan of Keshet and I am proud they are producing material for the European audience but both. Rough Diamonds and his ne dont fly like the Homeland did. Sorry.
