Nonureva Really Surprised!

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

qui_j I started to watch this when it appeared on one of the streaming sites that specialize in foreign TV series, and also because I'm a fan of Nordic Noir. This series started off well, and I had high hopes for it, even paying to download the series. Unfortunately, a little past the mid-point of the first season, the writing took a dive, the characters became really annoying, especially the "psychic" who wanders around the crime scenes mumbling to himself. It became worse when he solved a murder because of a dream he had.Some episodes lack continuity, and the plot scrambles at the end to tie up loose ends that were created. This is often done in ways that are just unbelievable. It's like going from Point A to point C without showing the viewer what happened in-between at point B! One can only hope that the series is really not representative of the state of Denmark's Justice and Police system! I should not have continued with series 2 but did so because I hoped the writers would produce better scripts. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The downward spiral continued! Now, to be fair, this series is over 15 years old, and is probably not as well developed as the later Nordic Noir offerings such as "Borgen", "The Killing", and "the Bridge". Perhaps the genre was finding its feet at that time, and evolving into the excellent productions we see today. On the other hand, every country that produces TV series will produce some pretty "horrible" shows sometimes, and this may be an example of that. I believe there were 4 seasons produced but I don't think I will be spending more to find out if season 3 and 4 got better......just not worth the money to do so!

DegustateurDeChocolat I picked this TV Series because I'm a big fan of "Nordic Noirs" as "The Killing" and "The Bridge". Certainly, Unit One is a little dated compared to the aforementioned series, but I wouldn't mind the end of the 90s setting as I have good memories of that period, so I actually enjoy going back to people dressing in a certain way,different hairdos, different cars etc. However, the first series was OK, with episodes having a plain story-line, with often unexpected murderers, some irony and the opportunity, through the show, for each character to define his/her own personality. The second series instead was very disappointing as story-lines were weak, outstandingly banal and with a predictable ending and murderer. The only things that blew my mind were the recurring themes of strong passion and love, both in some murder episodes and in some relationships between characters. From Danes I wouldn't have expected such big sentimental involvement that, to my standards, I would have thought more present in the Mediterranean or Latin America personalities. A character that made me smile was IP who's a keen policeman and, at the same time, an ingenuous and overly indulgent person as he's always betrayed by his wife who often runs off with his boss. No matter this he keeps on forgiving her.

brrm I've seen selected episodes of Unit One on German television and am extremely impressed. I'm a fan of several Swedish crime series (Commissar Beck and the Henning Mankell mysteries), but Unit One is just as good, if not better. What is surprising is how much it packs into little over an hour. Not only does it cover the case in all its complications, but it also covers various back stories, the private conflicts that affect the members of Unit One. The writing, the cast, the photography, the direction are all superb, and I can only hope that ZDF in Germany will show all the episodes, and when they do, that they will put the series in primetime, and not in a late-night slot as they have up to now.

DAVE BRADLEY (DAVID-BRADLEY) I've got all 32 episodes of Rejseholdet and , quite simply , I think it's one of the best series ever made.The title is effectively the same as the British TV series from the 70's The Sweeney and it is every bit as good as that series was.It's very atmospheric , the acting is excellent , the interplay between the characters is superb and adds to the realism of the series. Some of the asides , especially between Fischer and La Cour are very witty.Too many programmes on Danish television are nothing more than copies of English and American programmes. At its best , however , the Danish TV service ( danmarksradio ) has made some outstanding television series. Rejseholdet is amongst them
