Character development could be a bit profounder, but if you keep watching the characters still grow on you and you'll get more and more invested in their private and professional lifes. At parts it's quite witty. I really enjoyed it.

Great parallel story lines. The characters are interesting both in their strengths and weaknesses. There are no simple good guys/bad guys, although some are more flawed than others.

I see a few viewer reviews in the 'boring' column. Perhaps a few car chases would satisfy them. The suspense and tension of some serious sinister elements keeps this viewer anxious and engaged.

The writing and dialogue are excellent. It takes some willpower to resist binging!

It's vexing to have the main character so weak and flawed: no, no don't be such a weak selfish adolescent and bonk Unna just to get back at your ex-wife! Aaaargh!

This is by far one of the best series we have ever seen on TV. The story concerns a married couple, Erik and Elea, who are partners in a high-end law firm. To say their relationship is complex is a vast understatement, and over the course of the series they encounter many tests which reveal both characters' strengths and weaknesses. Anybody who claims there is no 'character development' simply wasn't watching!

The writing is subtle, highly intelligent, and frequently extremely funny! As to that, we appreciate how an episode could veer from humour to tense dark drama in two seconds. One does have to be alert, because the dialogue can have two sentences in one episode which lay the foundation for a dramatic development later on in the series. There is an over-reaching mystery-story line which is played out over the 30 episodes. Within which, each individual chapter also features one or more subsidiary plots involving the other members of the law firm.

The ensemble cast is a joy to watch. We come to know each character, who they are, and bit by bit learn each person's back-story. Production values are high, not to say luxurious-those offices are ultra-chic. And BTW, it rains in Bergen. A lot. That's water on the windows. Photography must have been extremely tricky in order to cope with all the glass partitions between the offices.

We binge-watched the 30 episodes, and hated to see it end. We'll be on the look-out for other shows by these writers. A word about sub-titles: we don't know a word of Norwegian, but are fluent in French, and have a smattering of German. We note that sub-titles in those shows are idiomatic, rather than literal, so we assume that the same criteria hold for the Scandinavian series.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

By far, and I do mean that from the bottom of my heart, By far one of the better of the Norwegian series made.

Not least because of the settings from Bergen, and the use of the particular bergenese dialect by almost ALL the actors. Those who did not use the bergenese dialect simply underline this one (compare the series of Varg Veum, where the main character refused to use thise distinctive dialect, and made the result poor.

There are of course minor issues, which led me not to give it a ten'er, but those are impossible to get around.

I am truly sad that the series was cut short with merely three seasdons. It would have been worthy of several more.

That's all I could think of. It's very poorly written and suddenly everything kinda all works out I guess... It makes zero sense and none of the characters are developed enough to care what happens to them. It could have been great. I also never really buy a blind attorney.

Peurile family values morality play thinly disguised as legal drama. Don't waste your time.
