It's hard for me to isolate season 1 from the rest of the series since I've watched it in its entirety. I do remember having a thought of "well that was a whole lot of nothing" in regards to a conclusion, but not even close to feeling it's a dumb show or that there's wasn't some universe building with constructive plot elements. I loved the story being told about the relationships and character motives.
I also had the luxury of not expecting much from a German Netflix show and being pleasantly surprised before it picked up some hype. If you didn't like season 1, then I wouldn't bother with the rest of the series. For me, this is a show I want to watch from beginning to end once more.
I was being a bit melodramatic. I really enjoyed the season - and am in the middle of season 2. I find the characters and the inter-relationships to be the most important thing. And I'm a sucker for characters in general, print fiction and film and TV.
I was just really... underwhelmed by the S1 'finale' because there wasn't really advancement or closure. And this isn't some typical American-esque "I gotta have a happy ending explicitly laid out for me" desire. Just... an end. It didn't feel like a season. It felt like a half season. S2 is really just the second half of that season, if that makes sense.
There have to be some answers offered - something - and it was just a bunch of cliffhangers and it wasn't enjoyable.
I'm just glad that I didn't have to take a break between S1 and S2, because I probably would have shelved it.
