I´ve read the book a while ago. It´s entertaining with a good story and some interesting characters. What stood out the most was how well research all the scientific background was. The book would get a 7/10.
Now the series: The Cast or the Casting i should say is just bad. It´s not even close to the book. But i can look past that if a character is played well. But this is a hit or miss. Some are very well played like Dr. Katherina Lehmann (by Barbara Sukowa) or Samantha Crowe (by Sharon Duncan-Brewster).
Others have no "charismatic acting" at all like Dr. Sigur Johanson (by Alexander Karim), Tina Lund (Krista Kosonen) and worst off all Leon Anawak (by Joshua Odjick) who is just staring in the distance all the time...oh wait these three are the main cast of the series...that´s too bad, and should tell you a lot about the quality of this series.
Sadly it´s just another dull lackluster European book-adaptation which will fade away very fast.
Even the author of the Book Frank Schätzing left mid-production and is speaking negatively about the result. And i can see why...
