The new German sci-fi thriller series CASSANDRA is available on Netflix. The Germans have already created fantastic sci-fi thriller stories for Netflix, as anyone who has seen Dark will attest to. You're in for a fantastic treat if you haven't already seen the three-season time travel series Dark.
 
Although this series differs greatly from Dark, there are some parallels. For starters, it is distinctly a work of science fiction and takes place in two different eras. To put it another way, it cannot be immediately linked to what you know to be true in our reality. I can tell you that this becomes darker and darker as it goes along because I watched all six episodes for this review.

Cassandra is a robot for smart homes that was created in the 1970s. Over fifty years ago, the proprietors of this smart home passed away under quite strange circumstances. The oldest smart house in germany has been abandoned ever since.
 
Samira, a sculptor, is now moving in with her family, which includes her husband, a mystery writer, a cute gay adolescent son, and a charming little daughter. They're leaving behind their own trauma, which I won't discuss here because it's completely discussed in one of the later episodes, though it is alluded to several times before the whole narrative is revealed.
 
Anyway, Cassandra, the virtual assistant, comes with the smart house. She is eager to please Samira's family when she emerges from her decades-long sleep. Samira, however, can live without it because Cassandra would rather be the head of the household.
 
In order to care for her family, Cassandra was created in the 1970s. She is modeled after the family's mother, who lived in the house over fifty years ago, and this is her second chance. Samira quickly sees Cassandra's threats, but no one else pays attention.
 
Cassandra, who witnesses and hears everything that occurs, is obviously placing a wager on this. and applies it to Samira. It serves as a reminder that there are always some women to be afraid of and that you should trust women when they warn you of danger. In this family, the spouse doesn't. When it comes to his wife, he is just terrible.

Cassandra is a science fiction series, so keep that in mind when you start watching the six episodes of this new Netflix series. It may even be set in a different universe. I'm only bringing up the potential here, not claiming it to be true. It's basically no different than every Black Mirror episode.
 
You will observe, after all, that the robot and smart home were constructed almost half a century ago. This immediately led me to believe that it shouldn't be able to perform all of the tasks that it can now.
 
This German limited series on Netflix was written and directed by Benjamin Gutsche. I tried not to get too excited about this new German sci-fi series, but I did have certain expectations. I mean, not everything can be at the level of Dark – and this wasn’t either, but it did get close at times.
 
I wasn't very into it when it initially started. Although I thought the tale was effective and the production is stunning, I didn't receive the "Wow!" moment. I simply binge-watched the entire limited series after that, till about the conclusion of episode 2.
 
Cassandra does become darker and more intense, as was previously mentioned. Although the plot begins as a very charming sci-fi thriller, it becomes increasingly gruesome as we learn the specifics of what transpired between 1964 and 1971. Not to mention how it contributes to the current plot. Keep trying on this one.
 
In addition, Cassandra's conclusion is a delight in and of itself. As I'm sure it was intended, I was upset throughout a few episodes, but at the conclusion, I felt almost entirely vindicated. Have fun!
