Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

aawells-202-188009 The "American character" is the main reason I tried this show. Dominic Monaghan is always delightful. If you don't know, he is a Brit. And he is doing a decent job with the NY accent and attitude. His portrayal of a "tough New York cop" is the humor of the show, which is needed in a show like this or it can be terribly dismal. If you have met any guys from New York, this is their general outlook- they are tough because they are from New York, no matter how small they are. I love it. They even bring up the Red Sox vs. Yankees rivalry, which is such a big part of being from Boston (my neck of the woods). The other attitudes about their sports, opinion of guns, so forth, are authentic inside jokes. So I think the nuances of the American character are just lost on an European audience, but a complete delight to us, especially if you realize that the tough New York cop is a hobbit!! So from the sounds of the review from the European viewpoint, it works for both. Watch it!

Tom Dooley It was only a matter of time before the Americans got in on the Nordic Noir scene properly instead of remakes and this is the perfect vehicle for so doing. It stars the rather good Dominic Monaghan as Tommy Conley a New York cop with a case he has tracked to Stockholm – that of a serial killer, so he believes. Once there he is teamed up with disgruntled cop Mikael Englund played by the brilliant Michael Nyqvist. It is not a marriage made in heaven but fate will draw them into a bond of sorts.Then the bodies start turning up and things go from interesting to downright intriguing in a very short period of time. It soon appears to everyone that there is more to this than any of them had envisaged. Add to this the lives of the main players with everyone having a flawed character and the baggage of the past hanging round their necks and influencing their decisions now and you get a rather addictive programme.This I feel is an excellent series and I dare say we will get season 2 anytime soon which is fine by me. It is in English and Swedish for the most part and the translations are all rather good too. If you like your box sets to be compulsive, convincing and inventive then this is something you should check out.

vaioroxio Like most of the Users reviewing The 100 code, I too have not much to offer in kindness as a review.Dominic Monaghan is pure awful - his accent & character - but is that down to the writers trying casting him as a male equivalent of Saga?Then there's the plot - totally transparent & narratives that so obviously borrow from other type programs like Hannibal (the murderer calling it in to the resident psycho Hellstrom), The Bridge & The Killing. Not to mention the idiot sidekick dicks story arc - possibly to prove that not all Swedes have a stick up their arse 24/7 - more cheese?Michael Nyqvist totally carries this show & as another reviewer pointed out whenever Monaghan opens his mouth - its dreadful - you really do wanna switch off!! As for Conley (Clownly) character's Paddywhackery - ugh, " Ma Da was from Gawlwaay - Jaysus - a fisherman" - never has any actor been so bad @ being Oirish since Tom " Is It You Shannon? " Cruise in Far & Away or as we call it in Ireland - Feck Off & Don't Come Back!!So I give 2 star rating - for Michael Nyqvist & the beautiful Swedish landscape.....Approach @ your own peril!!!
