More a psychologic mystery than Sci-FI, Signal is worth watching. The story is about an astronaut that receives a strange message while at the space station. The story would have been an excellent program for the old Twilight TV series. Come to think about it, maybe it was. Wisely the creators made this a limited series with only 4 episodes. The first episode is pretty slow but the suspense builds with each episode to a finally that will shock you, unless you figure it out.
One thing I don't like abound movies with aliens coming to earth is that the writers invariable make the government the bad guy, intent on blowing up the aliens before they reach earth or soon after, hiding their existence from the public and killing everyone with knowledge of the event. Maybe the writers in the movie Encounters of a Third Kind were a bit took idealistic. However, I think waiting to see if the aliens are friend or foe seems far more logical than just blowing them up before we know.
Since the series is in German, I suggest you turn on the English audio as reading subtitles in the story might prove to be taxing. To do this, pause the movie and use your down arrow on your remote to show subtitle and closed captions at the bottom of the screen. Choose Other and then English.
