I would like to save your time. Don't watch this. The ending is just stupid. Like really stupid. The killer, is well, not any of the 5 main people, nor anyone in the cops. The killer is, just.... there, for the sake of being. Its like 36 China Town (Bollywood), or Quantico, if you get what I mean. The whole plot revolves around a murder, and a series of similar murders for a "perfume" that will make anyone fall in love with you. The bizzare ending is just aweful. Its like, they hadn't thought of who they want their killer to be and randomly assigned the killer's name by lucky draw. I was on the edge of my seat for 6 episodes. And when I finally thought they found the killer, it was someone else, with no arc what-so-ever. They hadn't shown anything about the killer's motives or desires, or even any hints so we could suspect them. Trying to be too smart, they just blowed up the whole series.
The characters were all flawed. The lead character was the last person I would care about. The ball-busting cop, Nadja Simone couldn't stand up to her boss, and rather followed around like a puppy. The women in the series were all disgusting, beginning with the main dead woman around whom the series revolves. She would have intercourse with all the boys in her friends group, taking part in orgies and stuff even as a teenager. She was nice though, especially with Butsche, the most tormented one. Butsche had disturbing childhood. His mother sexually abused him as a child, thanks to which he was abusive to every single woman that came in his life. A terrible brothel keeper, abusive to the core. He managed to get redemption though. The other girl/lady Elena, a super coward woman who lets everyone rape her for no reason. Her boyfriend and now husband Roman would abuse her as much he liked, and as usual blame her for making him do so. Don't know why she was like that, she would let Butsche rape her too and then go on to play the victim card. Mortiz the perfume maker was the prime suspect. But he too had no reason to kill anyone, given he could extract perfumes from people alive, as many times he wanted. He served as an encyclopedia of smells. The key reason of this perversion was the underlying mastery of making perfumes out of other people, then applying it to attract any person they love. Elena wanted a mother, so at the age of 13 she killed a boy, and gave his tissues to Mortiz so he could make an artificial scent of the boy. Thus the mother immideately felt something for Elena, and she adopted her. But don't get your hopes high. Elena is NOT the serial killer. She is neither the killer of these women, Katherina or the prostitute, or even the wheelchair lady. Elena will not be charged as she was a juvenile when she committed the crime.
Ah disgusting. At this point I lost hope in the series. I was like, I don't even care who the killer is. And when they revealed, it was all meh... And that is not even the end. The cop killed the killer so she could use the perfume and attract her.
It is not worth your time or energy. Apart from cinematography and background score, this series has nothing new to offer. Its a messed up series with no sense.
