“Atmospheric” German crime thriller based on ‘chilling page-turner’ gets new UK streaming home

The Shadow, the “atmospheric” German crime thriller, has gotten a new streaming home in the UK.

In the role of an enthusiastic fan, I’d say: I’m captivated by this six-part series that mirrors Melanie Raabe’s 2021 novel. It chronicles my journey as Norah, a journalist, transitioning from Berlin to Vienna. A mysterious stranger intrigues me with a chilling prediction – I’ll take a life within the coming days.

At first, Norah doubts the truthfulness of the stranger’s statements, but as strange events accumulate, she wonders if she actually has the capacity and the reason to end another person’s life.

As a gaming enthusiast, diving into the world of “Deleila Piasko” and “Andreas Pietschmann” is an exhilarating journey now more accessible! The 2023 series has found its new home in the UK, where you can stream all six episodes on Channel 4’s streaming service, proudly labeled under Walter Presents.

Raabe’s novel, often praised for its exploration of the unavoidable forces of fate and retribution, enjoys high acclaim among its readership. Currently, it boasts a mean user rating of 3.9 out of 5 stars on Amazon.

One reader found Melanie Raabe’s novel to be a heart-pounding, spine-tingling psychological suspense that leaves readers gripped by the story as it navigates its numerous twists and bends. They also mentioned that it would keep you wide awake even after you’ve put it down.

One enthusiastic reader commented, “This story has a captivating concept and superb narrative. Melanie Raabe is truly a gifted author, and the book’s plot kept me engaged throughout.” Another avid fan characterized it as “thoughtfully constructed and skillfully written.

The TV version hasn’t been quite as favorably reviewed compared to its original counterpart. At present, it holds a median score of 6.7/10 on IMDb based on 295 user reviews.

As I delved into the world of “The Shadow”, I found myself immersed in a skillfully woven tale that thrived on its chilling atmosphere and captivating acting. This game’s narrative was not just a storyline, but a deeply nuanced exploration of characters that truly resonated with me.

Besides “The Shadow”, a few other shows from the Walter Presents collection available on Channel 4 are the charming mystery series “Sunset Grove” and the ominous “Pale Mountains”, a thriller revolving around a serial killer.

The Shadow can be streamed now on Channel 4.

The premiere issue of Digital Spy’s print magazine, titled “British Comedy Legends,” is now available! Purchase it from your local newsstand or online for only £3.99.
