The way the creators have incorporated a significant moment in history into the narrative is praise-worthy. Overall, this Netflix German limited series does not disappoint unless you are searching for an outlandish sci-fi. Go to Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com 07/04/2024
3/5
The Signal is a thrilling, sometimes dull and sometimes silly ride through space and talks about human greed and its heartbreaking effects. Go to Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL 05/31/2024
The show doesn’t overstay its welcome, and it’s human-sized in the scale of its final message. Worth a look. Go to Full Review Jenny Nixon Common Sense Media 03/27/2024
The father-daughter relationship is especially well done, with Yuna Bennett doing a standout job as the tenacious Charlie. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 03/12/2024
The Signal does a good job of splitting its story into two storylines that are well-defined, bringing the viewer along on the show’s central mystery in a way that keeps them interested without jerking them around. Go to Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut 03/09/2024
2.5/5
Most of these questions don’t have satisfactory answers, and the scant runtime shows its weaknesses by stripping peripheral characters of depth and making their motivations hazy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Anifaz B @RT97628752 Apr 11 The show is full of overacting. These mfs just keep giving intense looks all the time. The story also sucks. It deserves a (-100) rating. The acting sucks the story sucks, the vibe sucks it all feels like they're just stuck in a studio overacting. That's it. Completely ruined my day. Three hours wasted. Im so furious right now.......DONT WATCH IT TOTAL WASTE OF TIME🥴...... See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 29 4 unsuccessful episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Ioanna A @RT55343992 06/10/2025 A must-see mini serie you will enjoy for sure. The plot is really uncommon and the way the ultimate episode ends is extraordinary. I really can't understand the low ratings people give for this serie! See more Вікторія T @RT46339871 06/01/2025 Yet another post-2021 Netflix show trying to whitewash russians, completely ignoring their ongoing brutal crimes. As soon as that first line dropped, I lost all interest in watching any further. See more Michael M @RT87426620 05/31/2025 A most humane si fi mystery with a lovely family story and a poignant end. Bumpy story line and some weak special effects be damned. See more Mx Rip R @RT07395943 05/03/2025 Total waste of time. See more Read all reviews
