This series was torturously slow, and filled with so much ancillary drama it was hard to watch. But I did endure the entire series mostly to see whether justice for the evil perpetrators at Colonia Dignidad were ver brought to justice.
I don't want to be a spoiler (though by reading the historical account you can find out what their fate was), so I will only say that the ending left me quite disappointed.
The acting was OK, but the pace was utterly glacial to the extreme and fictional drama created around the historical aspect was drawn out almost unbearably.
The only reason I gave it a five is for points for someone at least making some kind of film about this hell on earth that existed literally for decades and was guilty of the most heinous acts and crimes imaginable. I'd never heard about it and it is just another clue as to the depths of depravity man is capable of.
In my estimation true justice was never really served in this case, most likely to protect the vast network of the powerful guilty parties involved. Just another sad commentary on the world in which we live.
