The Machinery

I really enjoy this show. I'm not a great fan off all the Nordic noir. They really should start think differently and renew the genre . But I noticed that Maskineriet have the same director as Gåsmamman, another Swedish series I like with a different tone and great casting .

The cop lady is the worst I've ever seen. To many «tough cop lady» clichés and just over all terrible acting. The script is slow and boring. And when you're at the 3rd episode, you just wish it would all be over.

Ok start. However that cop lady might be the worst actress i have ever seen

The show explores the interconnectedness of these events and the ripple effect they have on the lives of those involved. The plot is tense and suspenseful, as the viewer is left wondering how these disparate storylines will converge.

The acting in The Machinery is superb, particularly by the lead actor, who convincingly portrays Olle's confusion and desperation. The supporting cast is equally impressive, with nuanced performances that bring depth and complexity to their characters.

The cinematography and direction are also top-notch, with sweeping shots of the Norwegian landscape and intense, close-up scenes that heighten the drama.

Overall, The Machinery is a gripping and well-crafted thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Its unique premise and strong performances make it a standout addition to the genre, and it is not to be missed by fans of crime dramas.

Some viewer revies of this Series amaze me... Have you never seen most of e.g. US series with related themes, with focus only on funny lines, cute performer faces, politically correct characters and totally happy ending? True, Maskineriet has its flaws, including some breach of logic and arid female characters, but the thrill is maintained, and Kristoffer Joner as Olle Hultén and Gabriel Gunerius Fevang as Jimmy are far above average.

The thing just is that Sweden more and Norway less have dozens of catchier and more versatile series, and of course, Maskineriet is no Innan vi dör or Øyevitne, for example, but if you have seen them already, you are definitely not wasting some 6 hours of your life!

PS Season 2 is somewhat more interesting, but the amount of parallel storylines is excessive. On the other hand, there are some witty twists and turns. Again, better than mediocre.
