German dubbed 4 part sci-fi mystery.

I can't recommend.

It goes back and forth between a clever mystery to a big bait and switch.

The little girl gives a pretty good performance though. Sorta reminds me of a young Christina Ricci.

Was so close to being a really cool story.

* it’’s The Signal. Not whatever the hell I was thinking before.

Still doesn’t make it any better.

Guess no one saw it. Which makes sense.

Spoiler:

The "reveal" is pretty ridiculous, but anyone familiar with the object in question could tell right away what was involved.

There's zero chance this thing survives re-entry. There are many ways this could have been handled better.

Star Trek TMP was allowed 'some' leeway because it's set so far in the future. But this?

You mean The Signal? Don't see a series titled 'The Message'.

I think we've made it like 4 episodes in, and I am ready to tap out unless my gf just wants to finish it. I think she feels the same way that I do though. I agree that the little girl has a bright future.

I mean, I guess they tried for a good ending?

It’s far from satisfying.
