As mentioned above, it was Brexit that inspired the series. The showrunners aimed to “create a captivating popcorn story” that at the same time had a “meta-level that reflected the current situation in Europe and the world and had a humanistic impetus.”
“Television is a medium that is driven by characters,” said creator Philip Koch. “People follow individual episodes because they want to know how characters develop. Even action-packed genre shows are about families and interpersonal relationships. I am interested in human questions: How would I react under these circumstances? To which tribe would I belong?”
