I don't really understand the bad reviews here. Granted, the side-stories (the different dangerous encounters), are maybe a little bit over the top but for the rest this series is a masterpiece. Beautifully filmed, the music is great and it's all about intense real feelings: the longing for adventure, feeling trapped in normal life, prejudging, extreme and raw grieve, sorrow, the impact of lies and the impact of having the feeling to have no roots at all. About friendship, complex and forbidden love, mortality and killed innocence. About trauma and loneliness. And even about honest feelings about the complexity of having children (not all sunshine, not at all).

Maybe it's because I recognize a lot that I like it, but it's certainly not as a bad as sometimes written here. Also the GR5 is a character and a vocation to the beauty of European nature.

It touched me and I want to see it again.
