One of very few times I've actually liked the breach of the forth wall, they really manage to pull it off in a great way.
Nicola Walker is brilliant, her part alone make it worth the watch but it's a great show overall.
So with that said it will probably not get a second season as with most shows I really like...
Don't know how to describe whatever this type of "acting" is called, but how on earth can anyone listen to and watch this for +40 minutes? East Asian over acting feels like an easy watch compared to this.
I feel sick after just hearing the first line being delivered in the trailer.
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.
Don't waste your time.
First four episodes are a whole lot of nothing, with a story line going everywhere but nowhere, and the remaining four could've been cut down to two one hour episodes
On top of that it's not exactly the top tier actors you get to watch and they doesn't get much help from the director and script.
Impressive that they managed to cast a complete cast, including extras, that doesn't talk the dialect of the area that this is supposed to take place in. An area with a very strong and pronounced dialect. Even the lead, born and raised in the area, sounds like she's misplaced by 500km. Credibility = 0
I first thought it would be the laugh box or the terrible acting that would make me turn this off after a few minutes but decided to battle through it. Then the whole gang grabbed their instruments and I called it quits.
This is so terrible in every single component that makes a TV show.
Did I mention the terrible acting? It's on a completely new level of over acting for something made in the West.
I would've guessed that this was produced by Hallmark or something like that, not Netflix.
Took me two attempts to get through the first episode and managed to watch two more before I gave up on this show ever taking off.
Don't waste your time.
This is The Naked Gun turned to not only 11 but 12. And while I really like those movies and their likes this show falls completely flat. No finesse what so ever with the stupidity, it's just one thing lined up with another for 20 minutes.
I gave it four episodes before I called it quits and can't for my life understand how this lived on for ten times that.
Lost most of my interest somewhere around episode five.
I really hope this get a second season but I won't hold my breath waiting.
The show is off to a good start but don't like the hint of "love affair"-thingy at the end of the second episode.
I like that the focus of the show is on the cops and not the case but there's already enough shows with/about love drama out there so why the urge to make another one?
Can't think of a single bad thing to write about this, a consistent high quality on all parts for 32 episodes straight.
The best Swedish produced drama of all time in my book. Glad to see it end on a high note but at the same time sad because I still want more...
Am I the only one that didn't get the ending?
Off to a good start, ep 4-6 kind of boring and back on track again in 7-8 up until the end where they missed a piece or two in the story.
As much as I disliked the character Joseph I disliked his portrayals writing of this show. Watched the first and a half episodes and the rest just played on while I began doing something more interesting and fun, cleaning my house.
I like Schwimmer but he had the script against him this time. I also liked Gana Bayarsaikhan character but the rest was just so misplaced they even were beyond the point of misplaced in a fun way.
Please don't give this a second season.
Season one was "fun" but season two was completely colorless, plain boring, so skip the second season since it adds nothing to the story.
Season one was refreshing and fun but the second season really is a second season, more of the same stuff without adding anything new and feels repetitive and kind of dated.
First of, who was the genius that decided that some nu-metal influenced music would be a good fit for something taking place 1880-1920? Kind of ruins the mood and feel completely.
And this should've been a miniseries of 6x45min or something, this format feels kind of rushed.
Daniel di Grado should stick to directing stuff and leave the writing to others. A dull story taken forward by a badly written dialogue delivered by a cast that's not exactly top of the line.
It just another VOD assembly line production.
Not my cup of tea...
Compared to other shows that get renewed for a second season and even season after season this deserved a second chance.
It sure has its flaws and could've been done better but was very surprised to see that it already was cancelled.
Don't waste your time, an endless snooze fest that leads up to an unresolving ending. Just a lot of nothing.
Only thing I'll remember from this is Mattias Nordström, impeccable once again.
Couldn't take more than three episodes.
One of the worst scripts I've seen in years, the dialogues and "jokes" is on the level of a high school play , and the directing......
Take a look at one of the shows it tries to copy instead like Solsidan, Ack Värmeland, Sommaren med släkten or Helt perfekt cause this is a complete waste of time.
The most over hyped show from Viasat so far.
Five episodes that tries to tell a story but fails completely and just leaves the viewer with more questions than answers what it was all about. Could aswell been cut down to a three episodes mini series and with out problems delivered the same so called story.
The script and dialogue is a joke and the directing/editing/filmography a complete mess.
Fares and Rehborg did OK considering what they had to work with.
225 wasted minutes.
Sventon and Vessla as portrayed by Helge Skoog and Johan Ulvesson are unbeatable and even the first cast from -72 are better than in this one.
Glans is OK but Robert Gustafsson is recycling the same five characters he has been using since he was done with Percy Tårar in -96 and they stopped being funny 20 years ago.
Positively surprised by the kids though, probably have a bright future if they choose to take that path.
The show was OK to kill a couple of hours with, fun story that they manage to tell without hiccups, nice camera work and set, probably a high budget for a Swedish production.
Wow.....
Amateur hour got funding?
Only managed to watch half of the first episode.
It starts with every character gets the buildup as a suspect, bam bam bam, without any finesse at all. Then follows the "burglary in the medics office where a truckload of sedatives were stolen but I didn't report it, because "Meh"-part and I just laughed out loud and turned it off.
In the sixth episode the characters, and story, walked away from me and I lost the connection with both of them.
Norton is a decent actor in other productions but here he never manage to build his character to someone you either like or dislike or is able to bond to in any way, he just is. And that's a problem when you have the lead role. The cast in all is interesting and performs well and I think I would've been able to really like this show but without a proper lead character it all falls flat.
I added this to TMDB and then TheTVDB just so I could import it here to set a rating and comment on how terrible this thing is.
I can't imagine how they managed to get funding for this, Or I can, the Swedish movie/TV/producers guild is just one big happy family and this production has some connections.
This is as best an over funded exams job/hobby project that somehow got picked up, and paid for, by Swedish state TV.
The script is at its highs at the level expected from a novel written by a teenager.
The story has a very confusing beginning and a lack of information.
They wake up, and without stating any kind of relationship with each other or asking any questions they watch a message on a TV and form teams against/for following it and making the ones on the opposite side their mortal enemies. Three seconds later one side appears brainwashed and form a cult that worships the TV and dress in gray sweatsuits (where did they even find them?).
The two semi known actresses that's in this has to been doing someone a big favor for getting involved in this considering the subpar script and dialogue. Like helping out the directors with an exams job or something.
You figure out the plot/twist in five minutes, what every character is going to do for getting there in fifteen and five minutes in to the second episode you know how the remaining four episodes more or less will play out.
So don't waste your time, it's enough that one of us did.
If they had manage to do this with the same actors as in the White Queen it would have been a lot better (I guess). Not just because it would have been easier to jump into but also because they wasn't half as bad as this lot. It probably has to do with the script too but three episodes in I have no relation to any of the characters and they all feel rather 'bleh'...
Three episodes in and they just killed the only reason to continue watching after the two first train wreck episodes.
Can't blame the actors cause they just follow the director that have to do his job with a manuscript made by what have to be a 14 year old kid, it's ridiculous! No place for the viewer to draw its own conclusions, every single thing that is depicted on the screen is written on the viewers nose.
This has the potential to be a decent show but with this manuscript it's day time mediocre.
Wasn't of to a good start with some very hard to like characters, gained some momentum in episode 3/4-isch and went straight back to the cruise speed it set in the beginning.
On episode seven now and have no idea what this thing want to say, it's starting to look more and more like a Dogme 95 movie and that's not meant as a compliment.
Only three episodes in and I have no problem with it being slow as a lot if other seem to have. But theese endless Jackie Chan kung-fu fights get really boring really fast. Just kick/punch the guy in the face and move on...
