Reviews

The German industry portalquotemeter.de is not only critical of the series, but above all its German title, which has been changed too much by the public broadcasting service ARD . Instead of using the catchy English title Hinterland , which is already borrowed from the German language, one uses, as is almost usual, awkwardly long titles. The author wrote: "" Hinterland "is the original name of the BBC production. The fact that this quite catchy and meaningful title has been changed for the German-speaking market seems more like an act of desperation for the more mature public-law core audience. Obviously, it should be immediately recognizable that it is a crime thriller. The fact that, in combination with subtitles and episode names, something absolutely awkwardly convoluted like “Inspector Mathias - Murder in Wales: The Devil's Bridge” appears to have been irrelevant to the program planners, it should rather scare the viewer off. ”However, this is not the case "Bad as it all may sound at first [...]. In addition to the great pictures, the eminently used symbolism works extremely well. The first thriller tells about the Devil's Bridge, as the title of the episode already suggests. A mythological legend is woven around this bridge, which is tainted with superstition and occupied by the devil. At first glance that may sound rather poor, but a whole framework of action aspects develops around this legend, so that in extreme cases some viewers may think of the truth. "

Sylvia Staude from the Frankfurter Rundschau criticized the poor quality of the German-language synchronization of the first season. This “would be better if the dialogues (at least in their synchronized form) weren't from the run-of-the-mill crime fiction box:“ You know something and you will tell me ”,“ We ​​all have a choice ”,“ Nobody here something like that would do in the village. "This hinterland cannot be so far removed from civilization that its inhabitants should not be reddened with shame at such a hackneyed sentence."

Publication in Germany
