Helikopterrånet

As a big fan of "Moneyheist" (La Casa...) I kind of like this even more as it nots so polished.

Every star in money heist were photo-esque, stars or selected to be great cover material for magazines.

Here we have more or less normal people, behaving as people do. They were not perfect, and we got to know them as how they live and... work.

The acting from our main stars are amazing, and as a Swede I think the script and dialogue were spot on.

Scenery and locations were as it is, imperfect too. The location wasnt a polished office building, but more as a industry building - as it was in reality. Kudos to details!

Having it as a mini-serie, fantastic - if this had been a hollywood production with action and dramatized events with no back-story. No thanks.

This was simply put great!

Wow, this series simply blew me away! I was hooked from the first episode. The mix of action, suspense, and the emotional depth of the characters is just incredible. What really stood out was how the story isn't just about a robbery; it dives into loyalty, desperation, and the choices people make when backed into a corner. Every twist kept me guessing, and the acting was so raw and real that I forgot I was watching a series. This is one of the best true-crime dramas I've ever seen-10/10 without a doubt!

I don't remember the last time I watched something in one breath. You won't regret spending your time on this!

You may know how the ending goes, as this was a famous story that actually happened. But watching it, I cannot help but be mesmerised with the characters and their motivations.

No glossy glamour of a heist like Oceans Eleven or Money Heist (Casa de Papel), this one is realistically portrayed. The characters are like regular people, like you and me, with challenges in life, and they're trying their best with what they have.

No superstar unblemished looks and perfect hairdo that make you wonder if you're watching a commercial.

It just so happens realistically that things go wrong, plans don't work, etc. But like me, I think you'd not only be well rewarded with an entertaining show, but gripped with suspense at every episode.

*Helicopter Heist* was absolutely brilliant, and I'm honestly baffled by all the whining. People complaining seem to expect some kind of flawless Hollywood blockbuster, completely missing the point. The series delivered a gripping story, great pacing, and solid performances that kept me hooked the entire time. Sure, it's not perfect-but honestly, who cares? It's a true story, not some overproduced Marvel movie. If you can't appreciate the effort that went into bringing this insane heist to life, then you're just being ungrateful. Stop nitpicking and enjoy it for what it is: thrilling, raw, unforgettable, and totally worth the watch.

The actors are really good. I usually don't like to watch Swedish shows because of their bad acting but they have evolved and they really picked out right actors for this show. I didnt like that it was so dragged out. 5 or 6 episodes would have been enough. Some scenes felt a bit too repetetive. However, what I did enjoy was the depiction of the actors' feelings and fears. It felt real. When the heist scenes went on, I really felt the tension. The camera angles, the music.. it made everything look epic.

The actors' lines felt realistic too. Not too rehersed. You could really feel and see how their personalities changed from first to last episode. They became robbers. Criminals. They portrayed that flawlessly.
