Wenn die Stille einkehrt

So well made! Danish know how to make good wellplayed series. The cast are awsome!

One of the most powerful and beautiful TV dramas I've seen! Every character is brilliantly played. The story is told with depth without an ounce too much or little.

Drag out the tissues and enjoy this masterful work.

Described by Ricky Gervais as a small screen masterpiece, and it is hard to disagree.

A genius piece of writing and some terrific performances, particularly from Jacob Lohmann and Karen-Lyse Mynster.

Admittedly, the slow, subtle build-up might lose a few viewers. I wondered if anything was actually happening in the early episodes, yet the seeds of several inconspicuous mini-plots had already been sown without my noticing.

The way in which the various stories interweave and play out may be the most impressive aspect. Some of the very best of Danish drama. - 8.8/10.

Just a FANTASTIC ENSEMBLE! Great acting from everyone

A lot of reviewers say the characters are hard to empathise with, but I wonder if they watched the whole series.

The show isn't about hitting plot points, it ACTUALLY goes deeper into the complexity of the human condition, especially in the face of tragedy. It was superbly crafted story telling and the actors were incredible. Even those playing minor roles were super engaging.

This is definitely a show for people who aren't into being spoon fed as an audience. You do have to investigate yourself, open your mind, and watch the transformation of these characters, and sometimes sit with the discomfort as they work it out.

Watch it 100% It's pretty damn good.
