Sthlm Rekviem

Not so successful adaptation of brilliant books. Could have been done so much better, look at "innan vi dør» and other brilliant Swedish crimeshows.

Really enjoyed this cop program, characters different, you do have to fill in some gaps with own imagination but a slow build which all links together at the end. A modern day Swedish type of Dexter. Hoping a series two might happen.

It took a few episodes to understand the relationships, of characters. But the ambiance and theme of the writing and production overcame the hiccup. Would love to see this has another series,but that seems unlikely. Fabulous from start to finish.

Ok some of the police stuff seemed rather far fetched but the main story and interweaving of the plots was good. Not sure why the ones that got away werent charged in the first place? But the action was good. I did think 3456 were anti immigrant, but Bond films are always political, racist and sexist. I loved the lead characters and it was well acted.

A series with good acting, interesting storylines, but with soulless character personalities completed with an awful score.

Would you like to see a depressed investigations unit, follow their demons and psychological weaknesses, that's the series for you. The writers and producers even managed to waste Alexej Manvelov's acting and presence.

Anti-depressants for most involved would have raised the bar. A disgrace to the Noir genre and Scandinavian fine shows.
