Don't you just wish you could wipe this show from your memory everytime you want to re-watch it?
An enjoyable, fast paced and very entertaining romp. It's not meant to be taken seriously, so don't. I find it oddly amusing that this series contains demonic/spiritual possessions, black magic, otherworldly beings etc etc, but most of the criticisms are about it not being "believable" because it depicts people of colour in positions of power, in 18th century England. Bigoted much?
Omg I loved the comic books! This will be awesome! Alan Tudyk and my favorite comic books!? Wow!
Patriot Act combines my favorite things: comedy, politics and statistics. Hasan speaks about important stuff all over the world. Things you didn’t even heard of yet. Patriot Act is sad and funny at the same time and you can learn A LOT. I‘m so happy I found this show, really.
it seems like every cult leader ever starts to escalate their stories to previously unknown levels of foolery and I keep thinking to myself "ain't no way these people believe this guy went to an alien planet with pastel coloured squirrel-bear hybrids and had lunch with jesus, mohammad and buddha" but then they DO believe that. also, I'm saying this in the most respectful way I can to not upset the guidelines,, too much..... every single one of them who's wearing this swastika embedded in the star of david necklace needs their @ss b3@t
[HBO] "Welcome to Utmark" may be one of the less commercial series that HBO has released this year, but it has an undeniable capacity for attraction, along with a splendid staging underlined by the excellent work of cinematographer Andreas Johannessen, who shines much more than in the "Unge lovende" series (NRK, 2015-). And it introduces elements that are not superficial at all, such as the confrontation between Heige (Marius Lien) and Finn (the almost essential in the recent Norwegian production Tobias Santelmann), which connects directly with the feeling of grievance of the indigenous Sami community against racial and religious colonization, which is present in rural areas of the Scandinavian countries.
We could almost say that this community of unique characters describes rural Norway before the discovery of oil, whose isolation was positive and negative at the same time. And it is capable of using dark humor to squeeze to the limit the primitive roots of the human being, in a story that progressively becomes darker.
Normally, I find Nordic crime dramas among the best -- I have watched several that have been favorites, though "The Lava Field" isn't among them. The scenery is beautiful, but it's not enough to compensate for the lackluster engagement and drying-paint pacing. The acting isn't what I've come to expect for the genre, with the lead detective seemingly taking double the normal xanax dose before he arrives at work. Fortunately, this isn't the Nordic norm, and it shouldn't be long before something more representative of the usual quality comes along :-)
