Yes there's something about Oderbruch -at least in the beginning. An atmosphere of doom, decay and hopelessness. Dark, brooding, unpleasant and absolutely nobody cracks a smile or says a single nice word. What appears 1st as a small town crime / conspiracy with the usual suspects takes slowly but surely a rather unexpected twist towards a supernatural mystery... you'll find yourself right at the center of an (at times) eerie and (at times) original ..... SPOILER: vampire story. Overall, the pace is rather slow and unfortunately looses steam episode after episode after episode. Maybe a 3 hr movie would have been a much better choice to avoid the somewhat repetitive dialogues and heavy handed storytelling.
