Omicron Persei 8

The Hunters

Argh! So hard to watch, but it does pull you in. Closer to Stallone than Sorjonen (Bordertown), it gives Rolf Lassgård the full stage on which to shine, and he does that extremely well.

Excellent production values, very good acting, DP & director and writing (style) are just fine. I can't figure out the layout of episodes, however. Two episodes in 2017, then two in 2020, but episodes 1-3 are one story arc, and episode 4 is a standalone story. First two episodes are quite poor, with inept policing and a series of nightmarish assaults on one investigator which are ridiculously excessive in the fashion of Tarantino. Then episodes 3-4 are quite good, with intensity and some violence.
I would divide it into two seasons by year of broadcast.
"Season 1" rates 4.
"Season 2" rates 8.
If you didn't need to watch episodes 1 & 2 to understand episodes 3 & 4, I would strongly recommend just watching the latter pair.
