So first of all. ,Wir sind die Welle' is not really to compare with the movie ,Die Welle'. This series is about making difference and to fight against everything wrong in this world.
I personally, as a german citizen, am not a fan of the german movie industry. But after I saw ,Dark' on Netflix, everything changed. Because of ,Dark's good quality in production, I gave this series a try. And I must say, I'm impressed. The production quality on this thing... unbelievable. 4K, good scenery, great lightning, good actors and I did not cringe while watching. This is extremely good for german quality. The music/sounds were very well picked as well.
Well why did I give this series only 5/10? It's because of the story. First of all: I really hoped to see a series that extends the movie, which is not the case. The story in the series is just bad, really bad. The idea behind it is good, but the implementation is just bad. So clumpy and not logical sometimes. I really can't describe it. It was just bad, and thats very unfortunate, because the production team did so good.
This leads me to another point: Because of the bad story, this series did not get any fame and no viewers at all. This is also bad, because I'm 100% certain that there will be no second season. And I think many viewers will see this as a waste of time, because season one has an open ending (which makes sense because the director wanted to force a second season).
I think it was a nice experiment, very impressed with the protagonist as an actor, he did very well and the production on this is insane, but the story is not to be spoken about. I personally liked watching the series and I would watch the second season as well I think, if there were going to be one.
