and it was like, WTF did I just see? The end is quite a twist (and is probably the segue into season 2, if there is one). I really liked it, even though sometimes I wasn't entirely sure what was going on. It's haunting, especially the music and some of the visuals. Sometimes it reminded me a bit of the old video games Myst and Riven, with weird surrealist landscapes and doors that shouldn't be there. Maybe a bit of German expressionism (it's a German production, after all). One thing that was interesting was that the characters spoke so many different languages - I noted English, German, French, Danish, Norwegian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish and Cantonese - and they were all trying to communicate with each other in their own languages. Maybe that was symbolic of something too. Anyhow, I'd recommend it if you like weird, puzzling tv shows.
