Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

peterrichboy After the murder mystery suspense of the Killing and the Bridge followed by the political intrigue of Borgen. Follow the money takes us into the corrupt world of high finance and insider dealing. Of course no Danish drama would be complete without the odd murder thrown in and each character has personal and less than satisfactory family lives to deal with. It is a little slower than than some of its predecessors but nevertheless Follow The Money is a more than adequate addition the Nordic Noir genre.

paul2001sw-1 Strong Danish drama 'Follow the Money' proves you don't have to centre a story on murder (not that there aren't some of those) to have a strong detective drama. The Scandinavian realist approach will be familiar to viewers of 'The Killing' or recent Icelandic drama 'Trapped'; but there's less emphasis on mood-building, and more direct focus on the story (in the manner of 'Borgen'). Ultimately, it's almost an impossible task to make a drama out of a fraud, and bits of the series seem a little too simplistic to make sense, in spite of the intricacy of the plotting; likewise, one sympathises vaguely with the characters without caring too deeply. But the pace is nicely judged, and it makes for addictive viewing.

Tweekums Mads is a Copenhagen police officer who has started working with the fraud squad; he is convinced that there is something wrong with the energy firm Energreen. There is indeed something wrong; fraud is discovered by young corporate lawyer Claudia. She reports it and two employers are paid off on condition that they leave Denmark. Claudia is quickly promoted and soon finds herself drawn into the corruption while her boss, Alexander Sødergren, ensures that his signature doesn't appear on any paperwork linked to the fraud. If that wasn't enough a couple of small time criminals steal the car belonging to one of the men that was paid off; it contains two million euros and a laptop that contains evidence against Energreen… this makes their lives far more complicated because there are people who will kill to ensure that the fraud remains uncovered.One might have thought that a drama about corporate fraud, with talk of things like shell companies, wouldn't be too exciting but this series managed to be fairly gripping from the start. This is of course helped by the fact that there is an element of real danger for some characters. While the viewer is in no doubt that Energreen is rotten there is no guarantee that their fraud will ultimately be exposed and those responsible punished as we are constantly reminded that corporate fraud is notoriously difficult to prove. The story is resolved in a satisfying way. The secondary plots concerning Mads' wife leaving him for her doctor and Claudia talking about moving to Paris with her son are a bit of a distraction from the main story but not overly so and it does show us other sides of the characters. The cast does an impressive job; most notably Thomas Bo Larsen as Mads, Natalie Madueño as Claudia and Nikolaj Lie Kaas as Sødergren. Overall I'd recommend this to people who have enjoyed other Scandi-dramas.These comments are based on watching the series in Danish with English subtitles.

l_rawjalaurence The opening credits set forth the theme of Jeppe Gjervig Gram, Jannik Tai Mosholt, and Anders Frithiof August's thriller. The protagonists are photographed in washed-out colors, in front of a filter showing water rising slowly from the bottom to the top of the frame. This suggests that they are somehow drowning; not physically drowning, perhaps, but unable to cope with a world riddled with corruption.This image is reinforced during the ten-part thriller through a tripartite plot. The chief executive of a Danish energy firm, Energreen (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) has ambitions to monopolize the market and is prepared to go to any lengths to achieve his aims - murder, corruption, manipulation. He enlists the services of idealistic lawyer Claudia (Natalie Madueño), and leads her on a series of increasingly violent adventures across Europe - Copenhagen, London, Paris, Rome. Deputed to investigate the case, police officer Mads (Thomas Bo Larsen) has his own domestic problems, as his wife Kristina (Line Kruse) dumps him for a doctor. The third plot focuses on car mechanic Nicky (Esben Smed Jensen) who finds a bag full of loot belonging to Energreen and tries his best to profit as a result, even if that results in blackmail.The plot twists and turns throughout the ten episodes, providing sufficient cliff-hangers for viewers to continue watching. In truth, however, its pace is often painfully slow; little attention has been paid to either character-development or examining how the claustrophobic environment of the urban office can often restrict people's emotions, as well as their behavior. As a result the plot often seems rather contrived: each episode has to have its hook at the end, but frequently viewers see what that hook is going to be, even before the episode has concluded.The series does possess its saving graces, including atmospheric cinematography from a variety of camera people, creating a gray world in which very little happiness seems to exist, other than the happiness provided by money. It seems that capitalist values have been left to flourish unrestricted, with the result that everyone, from the highest to the lowest social classes, is out to profit at others' expense. A profoundly depressing view of Western European life, to be sure.
