I am trying really hard to maintain a level of interest; however, the story line is far to sporatic and difficult to follow. I was hoping for environmental points and facts and evidence, but so far all I have seen are ice worms that are growing bigger... Bacteria that is unexplainable... And, I yawn a lot and would rather take a nap! This 60 minute program is 30 minutes of show and 30 minutes of commercials and that makes it even more dislikeable.

Der Schwarm ist eine vom ZDF produzierte internationale Miniserie, die auf dem von Frank Schätzing verfassten gleichnamigen Roman basiert… Ein ökologischer Thriller über die heikle Verflechtung zwischen Menschen und Erde… Es ist immer eine ernste und schwierige Aufgabe, einen spannenden Roman in diesem Fall "Der Schwarm" von Frank Schätzing zu einem guten Drehbuch umzuschreiben, nun lösten sie den Fall und holten selbst Frank Schätzing in die Autorengruppe (Steven Lally, Marissa Lestrade, Chris Lunt, Michael A. Walker, Frank Doelger, Frank Schätzing)… und ich bin der Meinung, sie haben mit wenigen Abstrichen eine gute Story auf Papier gebracht… Die Regie unter Barbara Eder, Philipp Stölzl und Luke Watson inszenierten die Story zum einen mit einer internationalen Schauspieler-Truppe… Die verschiedenen Handlungsstränge sind mit glaubwürdigen Charakteren zugeordnet, die wissenschaftliche Vernunft und Wissen einer Science-Fiction-Serie widerspiegeln, und geben ihr Weite und Tiefe… Kurz gesagt eine gut inszenierte Geschichte, sehr guten Darstellern, die leider zu einer Art von Langatmigkeit neigt.

I have seen some shows this year, but this one may be the most exhilarating and wild yet. I had a blast watching it. It's not as bonkers as The Lazurus Project on TNT, but it's right up there.
The idea of a group of expert scientists fighting against a strange life form in the mysterious and unexplained depths of the ocean is truly captivating. It immediately draws the audience in, creating a sense of excitement and suspense. The deep ocean's unknown nature makes it the perfect setting for this type of story, as it leaves many questions unanswered and builds anticipation.
However, the show does have its shortcomings. The initial character drama and plot development can feel generic and predictable, reminiscent of similar series. The show's lack of originality can be attributed to the fact that it is based on a popular book, and the producers must follow a similar plot structure to stay true to the source. But once the crazy stuff happens, it becomes a wildly entertaining experience. The sheer insanity of the events that unfold makes it a fun ride. Those sea creatures weren't f*cking around when you first saw them (a whale karate-chopped a boat in half, guys). It's the type of show with you on the edge of your seat, feeling like anything can happen anytime. It's the kind of show that will make you laugh at most of the unintentional stuff rather than the jokes from the main characters (I sure did). It's the kind of show that will have you leaving your house with a newfound appreciation for the power of nature despite not knowing marine life.
Although shows featuring killer mammals or strange occurrences are typical, this one stands out for its willingness to embrace the unusual and outrageous. The show doesn't shy away from pushing boundaries and embraces the unique and unexpected. The show also doesn't rely on cheap scares or shock value but instead focuses on creating suspense and an intriguing plot.
So, if you're looking for a show that doesn't take itself too seriously and promises a wild adventure, The Swarm might be the sleeper hit it's destined to be. And kudos to The CW for picking this up! Along with Son of a Critch, they're finally making watchable shows! If this were like their usual mushy teen dramas from pre-Nexstar past, I would check out that garbage by minute ten. Those felt like "watch in the background" type shows. But this is precisely what the promos promised. The show is fast-paced, with unexpected twists and turns. It's exactly the kind of show The CW needs to be making if they want to stay afloat. And you would be a party pooper if you missed it!
