[Viaplay] It focus in the problem of young sexuality through social networks with a story already known, but told backwards, from the end to the beginning. So the series can be seen from episode 7 to 1 as it is structured, or from episode 1 to 7. This is not only a way of telling it differently, but also reveals situations that reflect on guilt and victimization. S2 maintains the narrative structure but with a story in which sexualization is chosen, albeit with dramatic consequences. The narrative works worse, but maintains the reflection on the alternative realities of social networks.

Not bad at all. I do see some good messages concerning the way teenage girls and women expose their body on the web.
However... Sanna's story is pretty much a lie.
She claims she got raped but we have understand it is not the number one meaning we give to the word. Rape here means that she got verbally forced to do things to pleasure a man's lust. :thinking:
Her wrong is making up like a woman that got beaten while being raped.

And she won the damn trial afterwards???

This is a cautionary tale, told backwards. If it had been told chronologically you would see a tale of innocence lost. By telling it backwards, I think they hoped you would have wondered what happened. I’m not sure it made it the thriller they hoped it would be and I think the reversion fractured our connection to the characters, which is crucial if you want it to be a cautionary tale or an engaging story. (Was that convoluted enough for you? It was analogous to the failed storytelling of this series.). Amalia Holm (Bjelke) is a star by any standards. (I followed her here from MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM) It’s a tragic tale, poorly organized. I give this limited series a 4 (poor) out of 10. [Drama]

This backwards timeline thing might have looked as a good idea in the pitch but it's very poorly executed and accompanied by bad directing in general.
Yet another Viaplay Original flop.
