"With 'The Shadow', Keshet Tresor Fiction delivers a strong series for ZDFneo based on a novel. In the film version, everything really fits together: Performers, books and camera all join hands, resulting in a rousing thriller." – dwdl.de

"'The Shadow' (Keshet Tresor Fiction) – What a story! [...] Even a less impressive stylistic and technical execution would likely have turned Stefanie Veith's excellent adaptation of Melanie Raabe's novel of the same name into a captivating series, but Nina Vukovic's direction is at least brilliant. The cinematography is award-worthy, just like the performance by lead actress Deleila Piasko, who embodies the multifaceted spectrum of her role in a captivating manner." – tittelbach.tv
