Blindspår

I loved the book by Anne Holt and looked forward to watch the serie version together with my wife.

In fact, since this was an adoption of just one of the many books with the main charecter, I hoped this would be the start on many seasons.

My hopes were high for this serie as I saw there were some good actors in it too, and the director had made good stuff earlier. But this production unfortunately just does not work well. For some reason, the indoor scenes gave me a made-for-TV feeling of a low budget soap opera production. I don't know if it was the camera/lens that was used, the color grading, camera angles, directions or a combination of it all. The acting and script also gave med soap opera feeling. Even from the good actors I respect. To the Norwegian readers, I can tell that it looked to me like they had used the exact same team as were making the soap opera "Hotel Ceasar".

But to be fair, my wife enjoyed the series, so if you can look beyond my objections, it may be worth while entertainment.
