reception
Felix Böhme from the industry portal Serienjunkies.de thinks that the prequel series is “mainly characterized by boredom and an uninteresting topic” and that the “TV professionals behind and in front of the camera” “fail to tell a story that is even remotely enthralling”. He goes on to say that the action drama brings "neither fresh ideas and unspent approaches nor a few skilful borrowings from their cinematic model".
