"Der Pass" is an incredibly captivating series that stands out as one of the most remarkable crime dramas in recent years. From the very first episode, it grips viewers with a unique blend of suspense, mystery, and cinematic beauty that truly sets it apart. The pacing is deliberate, with long, drawn-out scenes that create a slow-burning tension, giving audiences space to reflect on the unfolding story and dive deeply into the psychological layers of each character. This approach brings a haunting intensity that lingers, making each scene feel both atmospheric and profoundly immersive. The cinematography is on an exceptionally high level, capturing the eerie, often snow-covered landscapes that mirror the darkness of the crimes and the emotional turmoil of the characters. The visuals alone are stunning, but it’s the music and sound design that elevate the series further, enhancing each moment with a chilling, almost hypnotic quality. This haunting soundtrack complements the moody visuals, adding another layer of depth to the show’s tense atmosphere. The cast delivers some of the finest performances seen in a crime series, bringing a rawness and authenticity that makes each character feel complex and deeply human. Their portrayals are nuanced, allowing viewers to connect with their fears, motives, and vulnerabilities. Together, the cast, direction, and immersive storytelling make "Der Pass" a truly unforgettable experience—one that stays with you long after the credits roll.

I can understand the negative comments here. I had mixed feelings about the first few episodes myself. Some of the dialogue and non-alien related scenes felt unnecessarily long. As others have mentioned, there's a focus on daily life problems and some outdated clichés that can be frustrating. However, after episode 5, the show improves significantly, with more focus on the aliens and the overarching story. From episode 6 onward, I was really hooked. I must say, this series is different from others, like The Walking Dead, where it's primarily about people. Here, it's about aliens, but from the perspective of people's daily lives. I can recommend it, but you need to push through the first episodes with their occasional boring scenes. It’s worth it in the end.

This music like a lot of people say is awful. I want to switch off every time. Like a BAD teeny rap show. Does not fit at all. Overall the show is okay. Only because of the houses The characters are often to mich focused on theirself. And always make other down. The other real estate shows like Selling sunset or Buying Beverly Hills are way more authentic. And sometimes even with heart and you get a good taste of REAL personalities with up and downs. In this show not. Just everyone "is the best".
