Once again, the quality of the crime Scandinavian series surpasses all the others. Very well made and told, real as life itself and with excellent actors. I loved seeing the actress Olivia Ainali again, Johanna in this series. A great young actress, with a lot of talent. She also plays the role of 'Sorjonen's' daughter, another series that you should not miss.

The series has a very exciting and original theme. Families with their feet on the ground and quite distant, I have always imagined that the cold should bring us closer together, but that is not the case in this series. The variety of characters and their interaction are very important, the environment, the ice and the snow give it that noir note that is totally necessary to set this specific story. The photography is exceptional.

Evilside is a very thrilling crime drama about friendship, loyalty and survival in the face of overwhelming odds, exciting and full of suspense and tension, and filled with evocative and provocative worldly themes.

Don't miss it!

One of the best shows thats from Finland! Absolutely worth of watching! Good acting, interesting plot and the ending was not something you'd expect. This show is something Finland didn't have before this, and we absolutely needed it! The plot was not obvious and you really want to watch the whole thig at once. Also nice to see not so popular (yet😉) actors in this show, and all of them did fantastic job! I would absolutely recommend watching this show! And I will personally watch it many many times, that's for sure! Finland need more of the masterpieces and more from the amazing actors and actresses!

Well, I learnt something here. When I heard characters talking about "the larp" and "larping" when speaking Finnish and seeing this word translated into these same words in the English subtitles, I didn't have a clue what was going on. I had to stop the episode and use a translator to get the text in English. That didn't help as it just gave me "larp" in that language too. I asked google what it meant and it's an acronym for "live action role play". This was the basis of the plot - the original murder could only be solved by the larp that had led up to his death.

There were some twists and turns as well as false accusations. The scenario of an inbred island was good. The perversion of religion was also interesting - Finland has too many exclusive religious communities unfortunately that contrast with the overall liberalism of how society is viewed and works. I have to say it was rather over the top here dependant on one mentally deranged person.

A few things weren't followed up. What was Ulla Penttinen's background problem? How did Reijo's wife really die all those years ago?

I watched it all and thought it was fair. Not a masterpiece though as others are claiming.
