Very good job by the actors and, what makes the series special, each episode was shot in a single take, without cuts or other "tricks".

I watched that too, and it really fascinated me.

The idea that after 20 - 30 minutes a mistake happens or something is wrong in the "sequence" and you have to shoot the whole thing again from the beginning is intense. Especially in one episode, the cross-fading / panning from one scene, with the drone, to the other scene, I thought that was really awesome.

Edit: But I actually found the story pretty boring

I think the story is kept extra simple, perhaps to give the whole thing even more reality.

For each episode, 4 weeks of shooting were scheduled in which each scene was played/recorded about 10 times. The best take was then used.

I also watched the episodes. I really liked the mini-series as it shows some social problems in a very impressive way. Very oppressive scenery on an even more oppressive subject. I didn't really get bored, if only because of the reference to reality. The murder itself is only the starting point to get into the subject.
It's not for nothing that this mini-series is being proposed to be shown in British schools and there are many debates about it. I think it's good that such topics are finding their way to the general public in this way. I was very pleasantly surprised.

I recently watched "Eternauta" on Netflix and can really recommend it. Invasion from outer space and no one really knows what's going on. The first threat is deadly snow that falls in the middle of summer and kills anyone who comes into contact with it. After a few episodes, another very creepy threat is revealed. It gradually increases in tension. Had to watch it in one go.

I'm now on "The last of us", season 2, which seems to be just as good as the first. Very exciting and you just want to stay with it. I see it on "Wow". It's only available to buy on Amazon so far.

I've already watched it and there will probably be a second season. I don't like The Last of US so have only watched the first episode of season 2 but, as I said, it's not my thing.

I watched that one too. I give the first season 6.5/10. 1.5 because of the cliffhanger in the last scene alone.
Otherwise it was the kind of series where I was always waiting for the wow effect - but it never came.
But it wasn't necessarily bad either, it was so interesting from episode to episode that I always wanted to know what would happen next.

What bothered me the most was the lack of emotion. Hello, the apocalypse is imminent, snow in summer is killing everyone outside,
we take a nap and make a cup of tea because the gas stove is still working. And nobody really goes crazy.
No, somehow it didn't fit.
The plot twist with the "soldiers" was great again - it entertained me.

When a second season comes (it's been announced) they should work on the emotion. The basics for a proper second season are there.

I'm starting "Bet" on Netflix today. It's the live-action adaptation of Kakegurui - the anime that's all about gambling.
A school that doesn't teach math, English or German, but gambling.

Instead of coming from Japan, the live-action adaptation is now coming from the USA. But the trailer triggered me and gave me the right Kakegurui vibes.

I'm curious.

I was also curious now and watched the series.

The series was ok, but something was missing for me.

I read a few reviews. Most of them liked the series, but they would have liked more pace and plot. Maybe it was the same for you.
