Countdown Copenhagen

This is a great series. S1 was excellent and S2 even better IMHO.

Action aplenty, solid acting and an intriguing plot full of twists. Always nice to have fallible heroes.

The only annoyance are the love struck flashbacks. 🙄

Definitely worth binging!!

I'm hearing impaired and need captions in English, my native language, as well as captions that translate foreign languages. Most dialogue is in Danish, so I get captions. But some of the most dramatic dialogue is muttered or quickly spoken in accented English, with no ability to turn on captions in PBS "Masterpiece." C'mon folks, do better and make this accessible!

Now to the show itself. The first episode is intense and traumatic. Try the second episode, and you'll be rewarded with a suspenseful drama with unpredictable plot, well-written dialogue, terrific acting and character development.

I just watch the 1st season. And I am certainly going to watch the 2nd as well. Very real story, good written and good acting. Once u start you can't stop it!!! Don't understand the negative revieuws.

Whilst I enjoyed season one of "Beneath the surface". But it was a bit slow and predictable. Season two on the other hand feels like a Danish version of Die Hard! It,s pretty much non stop action from the word go when a group of Syrian terrorists overtake a Danish car ferry. With our hero from season one just making it on board. Yes I know totally implausible but if you can put that aside and forget the plot holes, you have a really entertaining edge of the seat thriller. Not so much beneath the surface but drama on water! 9/10

I liked the first couple of episodes, looked like it was going to be a great taut suspense thriller but after about episode 5 I was starting to yell at the screen over some of the actions/behaviour/decisions being made by the characters . And the Police seem to do nothing but sit around having dramatic moments, arguing & eating pizza. I mean, surely Denmark has better cops than this? They are excruciatingly useless. I'll stick with it for now but honestly they better do something POLICE-like soon or I will give up on the show completely. Nothing much makes sense at this stage either. I'm hoping there's a point to all this somewhere coz the ransom is way too small to be their main aim. Anyway - watch it, you might enjoy it and it's not terrible but there are some niggling issues here.
