Deg

Feels forced and silly. The dialogue is shockingly bad. The actors seem lost and not sure what they're doing. The show doesn't understand its own tone, jumping from yawn-inducing thriller to some version of bad, camp humor. The show is lost. What has happened to Swedish entertainment?

Near the end, the action is quite illogical, but that scarcely matters: it's a sort of black comedy. There is a bunch of not-very-bright women, neighbours mainly, full of petty jealousies and struggling to keep up appearances. It's this lack of capability that drives the story along. On the other side, the unrelated (except in one case) men are criminals of the worst type. The prize is an unexpectedly large sum of dough from a robbery that went right. Like a comic Elizabethan Tragedy, - well, I won't continue..

This show made me want to put ear buds into my ears to escape the cringe writing. The direction is without imagination and the acting is horrendous. How can this embarrassing "entertainment" be funded and sold? Oh, right - in Sweden the state pays for it all so that film and tv-makers can continue being bad at what they do.

Odd how people who are so critical of this show watched the entire series. And as for bad acting, Deg has some of northern Europes finest. I assume some of the show was made during covid which is a huge challenge. Some of the plot twists where pretty intense and I think the casting was great. Hopefully a second series please.

Decent story that could have been so much better. Terrible sound editing, so much bass and bad mics make it impossible to heat the lines. Acting over the top some times.
