Stockholm Requiem

It should be noted that some of the reviews here are so excessively unfair in their criticism and ratings that quite frankly they are not worth paying much attention to. Being British, I watched it with English subtitles and enjoyed it, so perhaps it is weaker from the perspective of a Swedish native.

The series was well worth my time, with some interesting characters and stories that deserved more space for further development. Some of the characters struggle with psychological problems as a result of their work and/or events in their personal lives, and I thought this was portrayed reasonably realistically.

It is somewhat dark and you will not be spoon-fed happy endings, but is all the better for that.

Not so successful adaptation of brilliant books. Could have been done so much better, look at "innan vi dør» and other brilliant Swedish crimeshows.

It took a few episodes to understand the relationships, of characters. But the ambiance and theme of the writing and production overcame the hiccup. Would love to see this has another series,but that seems unlikely. Fabulous from start to finish.

Ok some of the police stuff seemed rather far fetched but the main story and interweaving of the plots was good. Not sure why the ones that got away werent charged in the first place? But the action was good. I did think 3456 were anti immigrant, but Bond films are always political, racist and sexist. I loved the lead characters and it was well acted.

Really enjoyed this cop program, characters different, you do have to fill in some gaps with own imagination but a slow build which all links together at the end. A modern day Swedish type of Dexter. Hoping a series two might happen.
