Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
pseawrig This show is very noir. The protagonist does some very bad things, but for what he thinks are the right reasons. In perfect noir style, none of the characters are who they seem to be. Each is pursuing a hidden agenda. As a consequence, the story unfolds in layers. Also in noir style, the story world has a nightmare quality to it. It traps the protagonist at every turn. If you like shows like The Bridge (SE), The Killing, Marcella, Case, and Trapped, you'll probably like this one too. Just the cinematography is incredible, but the story telling is first rate as well . . . as long as you are willing to pay close attention. It's in Norwegian with English subtitles.
philmic-79680 This is one of the best acted, most cinematic shows I've ever seen. I keep referring to it as a film.
gbolhuis He seems to find a clue then RUN with it...and, once again, got it wrong. While I enjoyed it, I found so many flaws. Disappointed, to say the least. The actors are awesome.
cacharoes It was a rather interesting show, I had picked to watch it because the description had sounded interesting and I enjoy Norwegian media. I was rather pleasantly surprised to find that the main character was actually gay. It is pretty rare for the sole main character to be gay in a show, when the show subject is not about being gay, so that was neat. I liked the aspect that it featured a normal mystery crime story with a gay character though him being gay was a very small detail, you could easily forget he was gay as it his interactions with his love interest are probably only 10 to 30 seconds of each episode. I sort of wished his interests character had somewhat more involvement in the show to see they perhaps work together but overall I felt it was a nice touch in showing a gay character in a normal context. Aside from that aspect the story had some depth to it and the situation gets ever complicated as things go on. Nikolai can never seem to get break which made me feel bad for him. It is true that some parts do seem a bit dull but there were some heart felt moments and some twists that made it grab your attention, and I always looked forward to seeing how love interest would show up and be incorporated.So Overall I rather enjoyed it and it was an interesting crime/mystery show with a hint of LGBT in there. If a second season of this was made I certainly would watch it and see how it develops further and hopefully improves.
