Wisting

For all of its many faults I still enjoyed this series. Why is it that most foreign series I have watched are better than any we make in the west where the emphasis is on excess, either violence, bad language or sex? The story on this was good and gripping at times. The main actor was a bit miscast and not very believable and his daughter irritating, but it was still very good over all.

It is well acted and is very atmospheric, however the story line is very familiar and the Norwegian acting is good enough that they don't need any Hollywood actors flown in. One for Scandinavian noir fans.

I'm 3 episodes in and I'm very much enjoying this show. The plot is suspensefull and the characters are likable.

The acting is excellent, for the most part. Some of the dialogue seems a bit forced, especially from the periferal characters. But mostly it's good. I really like the fact that they got Carrie Ann Moss(Trinity from The Matrix) to come to Norway for this role. She is off course excellent, as always.

The dynamic between the norwegian Police Officers and the FBI agents is fun to watch and I really liked Moss' character's jab at the notion of not carrying firearms and even having to ask permission to bring them on assignments.

Really looking forward to see how this plays out!

Two different story's, one season. The first five episodes is by far the best. The last five not so good and pretty obvious. First five ep I give an 8. Last five a 5/6.

Continuing the brilliant run of Scandi series like The Bridge and The Killing this will hold its own with the best of them.

Great plot, great acting, great direction. Very watchable indeed.
