Para - We Are King (2021– ) User Reviews

European 'Euphoria'

[BenceHartl · 8/10 · 7 May 2023]

Like a European - in this case German - version of the US hit series 'Euphoria', 'Para - Wir sind King' achieves more than the much hyped, over-the-top american series: it manages to keep it real. There might be some twists and turns in the storyline that don't seem that probable, but it is storytelling after all. Great acting, the girls are really likeable (and beautiful), great cinematography, well directed. And not too much of it: six episodes in season one are just enough to keep things interesting, no scenes feel pointless at all. The overall low rating is just not fair for this series, give it a try, especially if you love Berlin!

Rubbish

[qui_j · 2/10 · 6 May 2023]

This German series starts off in pure chaos with a lot of shouting, confused camera work, and inaudible and incomprehensible dialogue. Even if one watches with the original German soundtrack and English subtitles, the story still makes no sense. It plays like a very low budget production, using a script that makes absolutely no sense. As the episode progresses, there is just more shouting, inaudible dialogue and no context to provide information as to who the characters might be. The dialogue just seems to be improvised and made up along the way. It's astounding that this ever made it into production, let alone be streamed on any platform!
