reception

Tassi from Forbes magazine criticizes that the storylines are not neatly brought together in the end, but rather that it presents itself as a puzzle that happens to fit in the end. Overall, in his opinion, the series is worth watching if you lower your expectations for the end.

The numerous capable actors are praised by Wulf Bensch on medienjounral-blog.de, but he also criticizes the fact that storylines are not completed, questions remain unanswered at the end and the plot sometimes seems extremely constructed. He describes the television series overall as worth seeing with "dramatic potholes" that are manageable.

LauterFilme.de, on the other hand, writes that Brocklehurst succeeds in portraying the events in a comprehensible way and praises how skillfully I keep silent for you plays with the audience's emotions. The good actors and the mystery moments create constant tension, so I am silent for you can still grab even demanding crime fans .
