Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of a wave of post-2015 European television examining mass violence through perpetrator psychology rather than spectacle, influenced by real German mall shootings.

Insight

The shopping mall setting deliberately mirrors the structure of the show itself — both are designed to make strangers invisible to each other until catastrophe forces recognition.
