Dragonbone2005

Very well done series. Beautifully filmed, good acting, interesting story line. I was fully invested right to the creepy end. The end was a disappointment, so I took off three stars. It was too abrupt, and it felt unfinished.

Movies and series that end like this annoy me a bit. It seems really lazy and disrespectful to the viewer. I mean; the audience bothered to invest all their time and emotions, so have the darn courtesy of finishing the story properly please! With a better ending, I would give it 9 - 10 stars, as I do love my dark, gloomy, creepy Scandi / European crime, and this one ticked all the boxes.

I watched Season 1 last year, and although I was disappointed and put off by the foul language, it seemed to have an interesting story to tell. I didn't bother to continue with the next season.

Then the other day, I decided to watch Season 2 to catch up, since Netflix kept on advertising Season 3. I couldn't remember why I had disliked it last year. I managed 1 1/2 episodes of Season 2, and then I just couldn't stomach it anymore. I suddenly snatched up the remote and stopped it. What a relief. Zero exaggeration.

The subject matter is depressing, the characters are horrible, the mean and spiteful main character is an unattractive middle aged man gone to seed, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and the plot repeats itself over and over. But worst of all, and the final dealbreaker for me, is the disgusting therapist character, and the gratuitous overuse of vile and crude language.

This is cheap trash.

Gross.
