One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "Netflix should invest more in German shows… we had the masterpiece Dark, then 1899 from the same writers, now Cassandra…"
Another viewer said: "Strange, disturbing, and campy AF, but every time I go to turn it off, I can't do it. Please tell me someone else has seen this."
A third added: "Cassandra on Netflix is definitely a 10/10, I've been hooked since the beginning."

Critics are also praising the series for its unique blend of genres. Kelcie Mattson from Collider wrote in an 8/10 review: "Fusing elements of sci-fi, horror, psychological thriller, and women-focused family dramas of decades past, Cassandra is quieter than the company's films but still a sleek, ambitious limited series with plenty of meat on its bones."
Chris Joyce from Screen Rant added: "The excitement and nervousness will have you on the edge of your seat while you constantly look over your shoulder to ensure your smart devices aren't scheming behind you."
