Når støvet har lagt sig

So well made! Danish know how to make good wellplayed series. The cast are awsome!

Described by Ricky Gervais as a small screen masterpiece, and it is hard to disagree.

A genius piece of writing and some terrific performances, particularly from Jacob Lohmann and Karen-Lyse Mynster.

Admittedly, the slow, subtle build-up might lose a few viewers. I wondered if anything was actually happening in the early episodes, yet the seeds of several inconspicuous mini-plots had already been sown without my noticing.

The way in which the various stories interweave and play out may be the most impressive aspect. Some of the very best of Danish drama. - 8.8/10.

A lot of reviewers say the characters are hard to empathise with, but I wonder if they watched the whole series.

The show isn't about hitting plot points, it ACTUALLY goes deeper into the complexity of the human condition, especially in the face of tragedy. It was superbly crafted story telling and the actors were incredible. Even those playing minor roles were super engaging.

This is definitely a show for people who aren't into being spoon fed as an audience. You do have to investigate yourself, open your mind, and watch the transformation of these characters, and sometimes sit with the discomfort as they work it out.

Watch it 100% It's pretty damn good.

I like the fact that the characters were developed before and after the catalyst event. For those who say "it's too slow", I'd like to ask "What were you looking for? Car chases and crime solved in 1 episode?" This is NOT that sort of show. Less crime show than character-driven drama. I really enjoyed it.

Coming from the UK we have suffered from some terrible attacks Manchester bombing, the 2012 London bombings. And several others going back to the IRA in the 1970's.

This show we see how a terrorist attack on a restaurant affects the family members of several people who are killed in the attack. We see how the perpetrators plan their attack and the buildup to how they ended up in the restaurant at the wrong time.

Beautifully written and extremely well acted I really can't recommend this show highly enough, ultimately what this show goes on to prove is that horrific terrorist attacks solve nothing only end the lives of innocent people with so much to live for. 9/10.
