Krieger

The acting is overall good, as is the setting and camera-work. The story is serviceable and lends itself to some good moments of suspense. Action-sequences are good. My main concern is the atrocious dialogue and lack of character depth - Tom, the main villain is particularly two-dimensional (he's only missing a monocle) . I appreciate that there in all certainty excists coarse language between gangmembers, but the constant "danish f-bombs" wears really thin after 3 episodes - bad writing. Some of the police procedure seems extremely far-fetched or downright inconceivable, again - bad writing. Is every character in this series a raging alcoholic?

I may seem harsh; I want to like this but I can't help but compare it to "Sons of Anarchy", a much lengthier series, yes, but with both a much stronger characterisations and story.

Well, Denmark has its own issues with gangs, but really to such a degree that people are harassed and killed almost in the centre? The army mission related stuff is not novel as well, it has been a topic in several and catchier creations in Denmark... But the thrill in Kriger is somehow maintained and the events-scenes (although lopsided at times) take the viewer to the logical ending - but without any wow! Effect.

It seems to me that the primary goal of this Series was to provide Dar Salim, Danica Curcic and Lars Ranthe to perform protagonist roles (they have been usually cast into supporting roles). Here, Ranthe in the role of a gang leader was most to my liking, he has mostly performed positive/mild characters in other series.

So, Kriger is not a must see, but if you like to know about as much as Nordic crime series as possible, it is definitely not with a warning "Do not watch!" :)

This series takes place in Denmark and the dialogues are all in Danish. Therefre I don't it's easy to make comments on the quality of the actor's performances. Reading what the actors say and trying to match the subtitles to their faces is decidedly different from experiencing the performances, needless to say. However, the actors seem very talented. I can't say with certainty that the actors delivered good performances, but they did at least seem to be acting well. The characters themselves appeared quite interesting, and the show did seem very well-written. In one particularly emotionally striking scene that shows the series' potential as a drama, the widowed detective's child asks his deceased father's commanding officer if he gave the order that got the boy's father killed. The officer replies only "yes," but the tears in his eyes and pained expression on his face tell an entire story of tragedy and loss.

It's been a long time since ive been on such a thrill ride, each episode just makes the show better and better, absolutely striking beautiful cinematography, clever dialogue, and the acting from Salim and Ranthe is nothing but world class, the rest is also acting at a usual high level from a nordic show. But this is the best thriller series, ive seen yet from Denmark.

The best Danish tv-serie I have seen in many years. Really good.
