KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
kees_100 The series gives an interesting picture of how the elite divide the jobs and how they go to their limits to achieve their goal. The first episode was exciting until the end.Viewed in the Dutch version. No problems with the dubbing. It just seemed like a Dutch series, only the acting was of a higher level.
studymommy I binge-watched Bad Banks because it was THAT good. It's pretty high-brow i.e. I feel that you need to concentrate to follow what is going on if you are unfamiliar with the banking world; however, you come out of every episode feeling as though you've learnt something. Also, the suspense is great.
ambros-710-460987 I watched the whole season one because it was recommended by a friend to me. In my opinion it has great camera techniqueand storywise the end of the last episode is interesting. If you don't know anything about finance and business at all, you will be surprised and maybe entertained by this story. Otherwise it is boring and the "women are soooo discriminated"-attitude is annoying. Mention it once and concentrate on a real story, not everytime when it is possible.
Zaman983 When my friend suggested me Bad Banks knowing I'm a finance professional who might like it, I reluctantly started watching it thinking of another traditional German TV-Drama; ended up binged all six episodes eventually! Bad Banks is another addition to the excellent German TV productions in recent times along with 'Dark', and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The acting is great, along with a perfectly paced story without stretching it too much like other TV shows. The production quality is top notch and one of the best in recent times, even better than 'Dark' IMHO. My only issue was the lead actress who appeared to be too young sometimes for this role (she's just 23 IRL), even though her acting was great. Overall, a highly enjoyable show and it's a 9.5/10 from me!
