The Swarm, the big-budget series based on the Frank Schätzing best-seller, is an eight-part thriller series from Emmy Award winning showrunner Frank Doelger (Game of Thrones). The global environmental thriller is set in the present day, where anomalies and unnatural behavior in marine animals are causing upheaval all over the world. The Swarm follows a global group of scientists who come together to tackle one of the biggest challenges mankind has ever faced. They make the chilling discovery that deep at the bottom of the sea resides a collective intelligence which has suffered the ravages of civilization on its habitat - and decided to fight back.
I have read the book in 2007 while i should have rather prepared my master thesis for which i only had like 7 days left but couldnt stop reading even tho the book has over 1000 pages, it was that good, except maybe in the beginning where you get to know the characters.
For the TV adaptation of 8 episodes i dont have high hopes even tho with a budget of 40 million Euros its the most expensive german TV production so far, but the author Frank Schätzing said after watching it, it's poop, so i'm still gonna watch it, but with not high expectations.
