He is the mirror of what you yourself believe. Is he the Messiah or a trickster? Your faith tells you what he is. Even if you are not religious, you are the slave of your own doctrine. Great series, really surprised me. It doesn't need a second season. Everything there is to say has been said. With a great cast, very authentic stories and good pictures.

Blandly and emotionless cliché drama. The parents are miscast. Even though Chris is good-looking, he isn't a good actor. Why film a book only to completely change the important parts and the ending? The time is better invested in a book, the content could have been told very well in 90 minutes.

It begins excitingly and promisingly. However, only one side of Islam is portrayed, and it is a pity that the other side was not included. The only Muslim here who's not happy about terrorist attacks is portrayed as an outsider in his community. Then he has to witness his daughter Sulle suddenly sitting at the kitchen table with a headscarf.

With her, we see how girls are captured. They are promised paradise in the caliphate. With Pervin, we then see what this paradise turns into and what the end of this journey looks like. It's questionable the IS would entrust an important and significant operation to two complete idiots.

Unfortunately, depth was lacking. I had hoped for an authentic look at the "why". That wasn't shown here. It scratches the surface in a clichéd way. In addition, the series has the most annoying and stupid policewoman I have seen in quite a while. Selfishly, she wants to blow up a terrorist organisation single-handedly. How stupid she is, she at least realises herself at the end. Nothing made sense in the police procedural. I wondered if the series was meant to serve as a deterrent for young women to turn to the police. Good idea, important topic, badly realised. A real pity.
