The Machinery

Really good show. A lot of suspense. Good acting. Season 2 even better than season 1. Binge watch worthy. I saw the 2 seasons in a couple of days and I loved every episode.

I tried so hard to watch episode by episode, but the story gets very boring and the acting of some characters it's just cringe. Especially the cop lady. Just skip to the last episode, save your time.

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.

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.

Why ? Complicated plot (for no good reason) and way too many characters. Adding more and more ingredients don't make a better result. Keeping it simple and cutting out 80% of all the unnecessary crap could have saved this one.

This is not by any means a low budget production. Boats, action shots, helicopters, well known actors and numerous locations must have cost a lot. But most of it doesn't really add anything to the storyline (that is very hard to follow) The positive is that the main roles are well casted. Overall good acting from the main characters. Something that can't be said about the rest.

Script on it's own isn't bad, it's just the plot and storyline that spoils it. It's a shame really.
