Gidseltagningen

Watched it on BBC iPlayer, saw the whole season in two days. Love Danish tv shows but this is an exception, full of curiosity & compassion! Well done to all the actors.

Great micro-environment setting. Jumps into the action quickly and draws out well over the episodes to an intense conclusion. Takes time to personalize the hostages viewpoints. Closes with a moral issue.

This is a great series. S1 was excellent and S2 even better IMHO.

Action aplenty, solid acting and an intriguing plot full of twists. Always nice to have fallible heroes.

The only annoyance are the love struck flashbacks. 🙄

Definitely worth binging!!

15.Jan, 2020: Fantastic, gripping 8 episodes series, 45 minutes each, Totally Binge-Worthy, currently available with a HULU basic subscription. Especially if you LOVE dramas with deep, complex character development, and twists you never would have guessed. Excellent Acting by all of the cast, but especially by Paprika Steen, as an investigative journalist. No Tenth Star due to 'muddy' editing and storyline flow with the past and present scenes of so many of the actors; a Tenth star would have been given if Dates Text boxes had been inserted with the jumping back and forth.

I just watch the 1st season. And I am certainly going to watch the 2nd as well. Very real story, good written and good acting. Once u start you can't stop it!!! Don't understand the negative revieuws.
