Dear Child Netflix Series Review | Liebes Kind
Ойын-сауық
This is my Dear Child Netflix Series Review, and today I tell you why it is a Great Adaptation of the book. This is my Spoiler Free Dear Child Series Review and Reaction. Did you enjoy this Dear Child series, and what are your thoughts on the ending?
Lena lives in complete isolation in a highly secured home with the two children Hannah and Jonathan. They eat their meals, go to the toilet and to bed at precisely prescribed times. As soon as he enters the room, they line up to show their hands. They do everything he says. Until the young woman manages to escape. After a near fatal car accident, she is hospitalized, accompanied by Hannah.
Dear Child starts where traditional thrillers end: with redemption. But the true extent of this nightmare is revealed with the arrival of Lena's parents at the hospital the same night. They have been desperately searching for their missing daughter for almost 13 years… Dear Child is a six part mini series based on Romy Hausman’s novel of the same title.

Thanks Austin for reviewing non English language series as well and as someone who loved Dark, this may be right up my alley.
I loved it. Kept my attention all the way through. Acting is very good. Want more like this from Netflix.
I loved this miniseries. Loved it. I don’t know how I stumbled upon it but am grateful I did. Casting, writing, and superb acting made every episode essential, every episode memorable. When Kim Riedle (“Lena”) cleverly lures Christian Beermann (“Lars”) to his death, it made for some mighty satisfying revenge. Mighty satisfying. I know life isn’t fair and this exemplary drama echoes that truth but the real tragedy here was Jonathan. That kid was awesome and he deserved a future as bright and wonderful as any child ever born.
German in the US and i absolutely loved this show. I am more and more impressed what i get to see from germany on netflix
I was wondering whether to see this; just added this to my queue! thanks for the review!
Huge fan of DARK so I'm totally watching this over weekend
I just finished watching and thought I'd look for reviews. Fantastic acting and story plausible enough to be disturbing. I thought the ending was perfect.
austin says watch it then you must watch it!
I loved it and listened to the audiobook afterwards. There are some points different in the book. Much of it is the same but espacially why Papa kidnapped Lena and held this family captive has a better reason in the book I think.
Good 🎥 , those 1st few episodes had me on the edge of my seat!! However the last episode was rushed as if they were running out of film time. But at the end, glad my important questions were answered
One of my favorite sequences in the show was after the mine scene when they police still haven’t found the boy and the lea woman police says something about her worry about the boy not being a victim of a another mine, and the very next shot is over head shot of Hannah wearing oversized crocks and the nurse walking into the group home. My heart skipped a beat. It was so simple but masterful, it made me wonder how far in advance that was planned or if it was one of those, “it happened in the editing room” things.

If I’d read what it was about before watching it I doubt I would have. Great acting and writing etc. I guess. Loved it, apart from the last episode which I thought wrapped up too quickly. I’d liked to have known more about the original Lena, how she died.

it was repetitive it dragged onnn the ending was anti climatic and the questions i had were either unanswered or dissapointed me
And now I got to read the book. I enjoyed the show. Got to see the differences
loved this series! it was amazing
Thanks for the recommendation! I feel like netflix is full of korean, teen, or just plain badly written shows recently. I just finished it last night and it was a well written show with a great story. I'd give it a 7.5, worth the watch 👍

The serial killer was a man who owned a security company. He fell in love with the original Lena when he came to unlock her door for her. There's no big plot twist or anything haha, it ended up being a guy that was only introduced at the end
Loved it! Glad I watched it :) definitely a bit convoluted (imo) and I had a little issue with the ending that I won’t say here but the ride there made it very much worth the watch. Between this and Silo are my biggest surprises of the year so far. Maybe One Piece too.
i tried the dubbed version did not work as the little girl voice sounded a lot older so i went back original with subs
It was amazing g ❤
2 episodes in & I’m like wtf is going on.
Loved the limited series
It's German and good 🥳😂
Spoiler alert: i felt like it was really slow moving with a lot of dragged out scenes. Basically SVU could have done the same story in an episode. It was interesting but still unanswered questions (what exactly happened to Sarah? Infants dont die of a maternal postpartum infection)
this show was amazing and yet it left me angry. This happens in real life and to think that somewhere a women was kidnapped and foreced in captibity not only breaks my heart but makes me so angry with the world. This world is so sick and these despicable kidnappers don't ever get justice for the pain they have caused or are still causing.

Hi Tracey that's odd, in settings you don't see the options?
I loved it. However I haven't watched any Netflix in months and very glad that it was short because I had that drawn on and on and on all it lost interest. But yes when it gets to the ending. As much as I hate the thought of anybody being mean to women or children I loved every stab she stabbed into his neck.

He did it because his parents abandoned him as a child. And all he had was a picture of them as a family when he was a baby. N his mom was a spitting image of the original lena. He was trying to recreate the family he never had.

@@Nich_B23 I didn't see it that way. The girl was happy with her life before they ran away and was collaborating with the Dad to bring her "Lena" back. There are many hints that she isn't neurotypical, for example when she thinks every photo of a man including Tom Cruise is her Dad and her robot like narrating of facts. I do wonder what exactly happened at the beach - first we saw her sleeping in the car and only Jasmin and Lars walking into the dunes, then she's suddenly there in the water next to Jasmin.

Why do you hate him? He was just a grieving/traumatized father.
I´ve read the book last year and since I did Romy Hausmann is one of my favorite authors. She is very talented and so likeable at the same time. One thing I absolutely deteste about the show tho, is that they made Jasmin straight. In the book she is bisexual and in a relationship with a women, so the rape scenes are even more cruel to go through as the reader. It just hits so hard and is extremely effective. I don´t know why they changed that in the show. Kinda disappointed about it. Great video and review, keep up the good work :)

This silly, redundant themed series, albeit some decent atmospheric cinematography, ( although boring and redundant as the series moved along),,basically sucked!! Why would you say the execution was fascinating, when indeed it was nothing special…. You may have been hooked, but me and mine certainly weren’t! how anyone could deduce this series was that something unique is beyond me! not to mention a confusing, all over the map writing and anticlimactic ending that made no given the build up. That said, the acting for the most part was excellent…..but that’s about it.

too bad you didnt understand it. The father terribly missed his daughter Lina. The real Lina was an artist (they show her drawing in college/uni) so SHE drew the scene under the bed for Hannah. At one point the therapist says Kids can have false vivid imagination to cope. Gerd followed the van and said I dont have time to explain (it was also his original case for 13 years), the perp got in the house at the request of the father to change the locks (he must have been there at the right time to offer his services) Mr. Grass gave the new keys to Jasmin (the perp then installed cameras in the new apartment). Maybe the grandad felt more connected to Hannah because she looked so much like Lina, his daughter.

Did you actually pay attention to the series? They literally explained she looked like his mother who just disappeared one day. His whole thing was creating the perfect family, as psychotic as that sounds. I do agree that finding out who the kidnapper was was very underwhelming, and they should have made the kidnapper one of the characters we were keeping up with so that it would be more of a plot twist, more interesting. For example, I thought it was the grandpa because his reaction to being asked if he saw Hannah before was very weird.
