Being a science fiction fan I love to read time travel stories. The best of these that I really liked have to do with human an emotional impact issues. The Dandelion Girl by Robert F. Young is one of such fine examples.
So what I liked about this serial is first-class acting and well developed characters and the impact the time travel, including the time travel paradox causes them. Occasionally I got confused with the characters' names and to whom they belong. For a serious viewer I would even suggest to take notes of the names and their relations to characters and their families.
The story begins as a police thriller having to do with missed boys followed by finding grotesque mutilated bodies. But these things can happen in any police thriller. Then a time travel plot is introduced in such a masterful way that I, as a viewer, was surprised and confused as the characters in the show.
I still cannot give this show the maximum score because at times it becomes very convoluted with long dialogues. There are also some unresolved holes in the plot that left me disappointed. However, the conclusion of the serial was done very nicely, so I cannot subtract more then two points for the maximum score. All in all, a very nice effort by the German filmmakers.
