I generally don't like the trend to remake fresh shows, barely two years old (i e. Ghosts UK and in this case Alska Mig) Originals are, in my opinion, always better and more sincere. Ghost US at some point provided something new compared to (in severy aspect superior) UK show, but not this one, this one is plain copy-paste of Swedish show. And it's also inferior to the original, but not bad at all,quite likeable. Just really no need to watch both shows, they are identical. Apart from cast, of course, spoken language and scenary/city. Australian cast is also great and they did great job. Too bad the scenario was carbon copy of Swedish one, with no original elements at all.

I've read just four books, I liked them, but I guess reading it at the same time with Game of thrones was too much, and I liked GoT better. I was looking forward to the tv series, to refresh my memory and keep up with the story, but one and a half episode in, I gave it up too. I just couldn't stand the terrible acting of the 4 "dragons", especially the blond one. When he started screaming at Rosamund after the bat dream (so forced and fake and irritating), I just turned off the tv. There's plenty of better shows out there, this one is neither faithful to the books, nor done well.

I really liked season 1 and 3, but not season 2 and it seems that I dislike season 4. I don't get the hatred that season 3 received, I find it very well acted, atmospheric and tense. Season 4 is boring, acting is poor, like everyone is on sleeping pills and story doesn't seem interesting enough. It's just 2 episodes in, maybe it'll get better, but I doubt it.
