Was kind of skeptic after the first episode but gave it another try and watched the remaining two episodes that was available but that's where it ends. This kind of strained jokes and below the belt humor with a twist of slapstick doesn't work at all with the crime genre. At least not when it's served like this..
Think it would have worked better if they had focused more on the crime part and toned down the the "comedy" part.
The only episode (so far?) this season that holds the same standard as the ones in the first.
Not a fan of the nonlinear way they tell this story. Have loved the previous two seasons but this one is of to a slow start.
Almost done with season seven but think this is it for me. In this season (and maybe all of the previous ones but I really didn't notice?) every episode have followed the exact same format and it's getting boring.
A short sequence where someone is found dead, queue opening music, the main characters is doing something silly, they get noticed about the dead body, they follow leads that get them nowhere while the Commissioner and the two Officers has a separate "funny" byline, they round up all the suspects at a café and all of sudden reveals evidence and stuff in a timeline that you as a bystander has no way in figuring out.
So bye, bye.
So I gave it a chance and the first episode surprised me in a positive way. But when they with the minimal amount of keystrokes that would make even the guys on CSI jealous found the killer by tracing the Bluetooth sensors in the wheels of his car in the second episode I gave up on this being a good cop show. Will watch a few more because of Alba to see if it gets any better. Strongly doubt it though...
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...
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.
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'...
An improvement from the first season but the last 3-4 episodes was just a three hour long kung-fu movie with a Daredevil talking with a more and more "mysterious" and fake deep voice for every scene that flies by. Can't say I'm looking forward to the next season. Especially since I know it's the one that got it cancelled...
First season finale where I immediately didn't feel the need for a new episode. Weakest finale of the weakest season.
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.
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.
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.
It was under a spoon!
Love Kramer in this one.
It seldom work when they change the lead actor in a show and this was sadly no exception. Nothing wrong with Saschas performance, except that she fails the dialect, but it just feels wrong. First story and two episodes was enough.
The writers and directors of this season is to uneven making this season fly all over the place, the story line feels more like a blurry S-curve than a straight line.
And which of the producers are Alfre Woodard related to? That has to be the explanation to how she landed this role cause it sure can't be because of her acting. Ruins every scene she's in.
Alfre Woodards performance and the story with her character is ruining this show completely. The what felt as a lifetime long scene with her and her "daughter" in this episode almost made me turn the TV off. Amateur hour....
Best episode for a long time. Looking forward to the Chinese cryfest that once again will follow :smile:
Didn't like this season at all, the comedy part is almost completely gone.
Will not return for a third season if there'll be one.
W hat a crappy ending....
Claes and Lina is the worst fing team ever in this show and I so hoped that this would be their last episode. They try so hard to be PC and appear woke it just becomes ridiculous.
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.
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.
Had hoped for a more exiting ending....
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.
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.
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?
I really hope this get a second season but I won't hold my breath waiting.
Lost most of my interest somewhere around episode five.
Anyone know why they have made a very odd looking/sounding voice over in the first scene where Liz ask about Frank rewriting a sketch about Lindsey Vonn who won a gold medal at the olympics?
