Kamikaze

Viewers should KNOW that this powerful and excellent film is presented in Dansk AND starring multi-lingual characters who speak ENGLISH, when it is NECESSARY. For example, as when the handsome young pool contractor (who is a 7 episode, main character from Poland) interacts with the Danish characters. He doesn't speak Dansk...but, many of these characters know English, as do many Europeans nowadays. So, they communicate in English when required WITH the ACCENTS you will hear from English speakers native to Denmark and Poland, just like in the real world! This series is like a free travel trip to Europe and, yes, other continents! If you want to miss out on these beautiful real-world European language interactions...hit the ENGLISH ONLY audio button available on HBO. If, however, you know how to read....then, ENGLISH SPEAKING VIEWERS who wish to capture this film's true, intended value should HIT ONLY the English Subtitle button, not the audio button. Then, they will be able to listen to the musical tones of Dansk (mostly promoting the accents and slang of YOUNG DANISH people) and read important dialog in real-life scenarios. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW BECAUSE some reviewers are reporting that they could only watch it with English dialog, which they thought was distracting to the film. Of course it is distracting! However, HBO does NOT mandate an ENGLISH ONLY viewing. So, where did they get their viewing? How can anyone properly critique a just-released film from an illegal source? They can't! This series is a beautifully portrayed mosaic of the world of a young adult, older teen who is dealing with tragedy in a compelling, profound presentation, which also has its comical moments. Thus far, after two episodes, it is powerful, beautiful, enthralling, filled with critically informative back flashes that kept me on the edge of my seat. To gain a broad spectrum perspective, I asked for reviews from my 14 and 30 year old daughters, without children and my four sons, aged 32 to 45, who have children. THE RESULT FROM THEM: TEN STARS! We can't wait to see the next episodes....something worth watching on Streaming TV!!!

I would rate this an 11 just for Marie Reuther's acting performance. Another reviewer says he/she can't relate to the character but how can you unless you're in a similar situation.

There's something that keeps you hanging in there, but DON'T. It doesn't get better and in the end you realize it's just an empty drama with almost no redeeming qualities and certainly a poor ending with no message.

This was excellent! The loss of her family results in her loneliness and grief. Of course her aim is to end it, but along the way she unknowningly discovers her inner strength and extreme limitations. She is fearless and life saves her at every corner. Her adventures around the world, awaken her lost sole. Those who said it was boring, really didn't get it. Her acting was brilliant.

Wonder about people who seem to have it all? This show examines the meaning of life using an original plot about loss & love. What it means to be alive & what we value. Brilliant writing with much subtext. Great acting all around.
