EntertainmentCassandra: When the real haunt is not technology

Even stumbling into terror clichés, Netflix’s German miniseries stands out by turning machismo into the true villain of history

In the middle of 2025, It is difficult to live without technology. It is already common to research in Google A song that you don’t know and ask for artificial intelligences, for example, what is done tofu? (soy, salt and nigari, by the way).

In this scenario, the miniseries Cassandrawhich portrays an intelligent house controlled by a virtual assistant, came to discuss Privacy, immortality and machismo.

The series tries to unravel, over six episodes, the conflicts of a family that tries to heal from a traumatizing loss, moving to a different home. The execution that becomes Failure when the viewer perceives a repetition of clichés Present in the genus Suspense/Terror.

Here we have everything: the husband who does not believe in haunting until he loses a finger (literally); the wife discovering every plane of haunting and being taxed in crazy; The husband who cheats on his wife (because she is too good) and the child who is a friend of haunting. Certain episodes are so predictable that, even in German, it would be possible to easily repeat the characters’ dialogues.

But, it’s not just errors that Cassandra It is made. In fact, just like the robot, there are times when the series proposes to talk about relevant topics, with a sensitive approach.

Criticism of machismo are the ones that shout the most. Patriarchs of main families appear as negligent, ignorant and passive figures in the face of horrors their partners expose. That is, the villain of history (spoiler!) It’s not technology or artificial intelligence – and that’s amazing. The men represented here are hateable and poorly developed, giving the series a very delicious differential.

With this script asset, few episodes and well -made technical aspects, it is easy to understand why the miniseries are so long in the Netflix Top 10.
