I've sensed racism toward Asad. And it wasn't represented well that his Danish is poor. He spoke at a C1 level, but sometimes used the wrong words (like five times). I didn't understand the criticism toward him. At least that's how it was in the Russian translation.

Genuinely hate how this man writes women.

Mona Ibsen suddenly likes Carl back?? For literally no reason? Also somehow Kimmie murdering people is okay bc she lost a child? Idk this one was just not my cup of tea.

Der mittlere Teil war langweilig/langsam aber das Ende hat es sehr gut abgerundet. Der erste Teil war aber besser. Es werden auch slurs u.ä. verwendet.
