Die Glaskuppel

Many have rushed to criticize the show for being slow and boring. The narrative takes place in a small Swedish town, and many of the cliches of this type of tale-such as tragic family secrets and an evil enterprise destroying the environment-were unavoidable, as in previous top-rated Scandi-noir dramas such as "Katla" and "Trapped". However, this is one of the rare examples where the tiny circle of people playing the roles of suspects and victims served a legitimate goal, which was not to answer the whodunit but to reveal the true relationships between these characters and the real causes of the tragic events. So congratulations to peers who correctly identified the bad person, but this was neither statistically difficult in a pool of a few suspects nor the primary goal of this show.

Giving even a little detail on who, when and where would reveal everything so I will not provide any detail about it since ultimately everything finally seems to play a strong function in the real plot which is not what first seems and which gradually unveils in amazing manner in each of the six episodes.

People also thought the filming seemed emotionless. The Swedish accent makes it difficult for the main characters to experience the feelings they unleash, hence this criticism has only logical grounds-especially for English language viewers. Not only were the laconic dialogues and the characters tense, but I also believe that each part should be closely watched to ensure that what is truly happening is followed. The finest thing about this program is how skillfully it created one of the best character developments of a wicked mind. The story is told under close proximity to a scientific criminologist with the best twists on a warped psyche.

Once more, I want nothing to be spoiled; but, before and after the secrets come to light, pay close attention to the acting of every character to realize how great it is particularly for the three main characters of the show.

I honestly don't get the hate - "Die Glaskuppel" is an incredibly gripping and underrated series that constantly keeps you guessing. From the very beginning, it pulls you in with its intense atmosphere and never lets go. The plot is packed with brutal and unexpected twists that hit you when you least expect them, and the tension only escalates with each episode. Just when you think you've figured it out, everything changes again. It's unpredictable, addictive, and full of surprises right up to the final scene. If you enjoy clever, suspenseful storytelling, this series is a hidden gem you shouldn't miss.

I, too, don't understand the really negative reviews. This is not an American action shoot 'em up. Scandinavian people are by nature stoic and they don't talk a lot. I should know - my father was 100% Norwegian. This drama is well written, has a different storyline than I've seen in a while with good actors not to mention wonderful scenery and an accurate depiction of Swedes in a small town who reject their environment being ravaged. I'm quite enjoying this!!! We are finally getting access to really good Nordic thrillers and I watch them so often, they can't keep up with audiences that like them. Icelandic are the best.

I've watched every Scandi mystery or suspense that exists to American viewers, so I was excited for something new. This one didn't quite hit the mark for me, though. Part of my problem was that I had it figured out pretty early. I watched to the end mostly because it was made well and the acting was good for the most part. I'm one of those who would watch a show about a bug crossing the road if it was well made, and especially if it was Scandinavian. The main character, Lejla, however, I found a bit stiff and emotionless in her portrayal of a woman who was once traumatised by abduction and kidnapping. I am sure some will find the ending clever and surprising, but I thought it was extremely far fetched. The serial killer theme has gotten more and more absurd as these shows keep being made. Therefore, I rate this one as a six because it just didn't rise above that in its believability and interest for me.

It's not Bosch folks! Set in a small Swedish town, an expert on child abductions returns in the midst of a crisis. The lead star might seem cool considering her subject matter but we soon find out why and this is Sweden so no over the top emotional scenes like one might expect in a typical American drama. It was slowly paced but not boring at all. All the way to the end I never identified who the killer was. I understand a season 2 might happen, can't wait!

Once more, I want nothing to be spoiled; but, before and after the secrets come to light, pay close attention to the acting of every character to realize how great it is particularly for the three main characters of the show.
