I respect Cuaron and his career as a director. However, I think this one is a flop. Maybe it is a budget issue, maybe Apple needed something for weeks and weeks to come, maybe it is the book the series is built on, maybe it is Sascha Baron Cohen's hair, I dont what it is. But the story does not work. At least for me. I find it very constructed, unreal. The directing and the storytelling too melodramic, too long, too indirect, too unbelieavable. Characters not real. It does not work. It was like this / no like that / wait a moment like this. They have not even decided where they want it to go. But they want us to sit and buy it. It is true that everbody creates their narratives to deal with the truth - but this story is not about that.

Maybe this movie is not a masterpiece but it is painfully emotional. It is not romantic, i dont think so. I did not even think that the main characters loved each other. It is just responsibility to another person on the Polish man's part under very hard conditions. I read that the director died a very sad death at a very young age after directing this film. I dont wanna search over google because this move was already full of melodrama , i dont wanna put myself under further pain. I think everybody shall watch this movie. It is about human condition, history and life. The German name is The Lost Time not Remembrance and it reminds us the responsibility to live a responsible life.

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.
