A dreamy, meditative plunge into mortal life, heavy with longing and quiet sorrow, rewarding patience with moments of strange grace.

Tagline: Your favorite Angels are back!
Overview: A group of angels look longingly upon the life of humans. Berlin now is a very different place: unified in name but overrun with crime, corruption, and—in what turns out to be a key theme here—Americans.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest, whimsical and dark. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Redemption, identity, isolation, morality
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
