All the Sins

Phenomenal series... the impact as it's all coming together was and is extremely moving for me...at times early on I thought maybe this isn't for me a period of character building and getting to know this community and the way they have live and have lived for many years..somewhere in there my eyes opened wider as I felt myself saying OMG!! Jaw dropping realizations began to open up and I felt speechless at the end on many levels... I absolutely believe the two detectives playing lead roles are deeply richly talented actors, excellent! This series is not like many I've seen it is unique and there is a vulnerability revealed here so well done especially around the topic of trauma and how it can affect relationships later in life...

Wow this was excellent. The interlinking of series 1 and 2 was very creative. Great characters and storyline and in series 2 we get snow. Nothing like snow to enhance a Scandi-noir. Can see many points of departure for series 3. Bring it on👍

I have watched two seasons of this great Finnish TV serie. I have learned out that the third is on air. I wanted to write my comment before watching the third season. I really liked the second season and I can even say that I like it more than the first season. The difference between revenge and punishment is very well analyzed in the second season. Although, there were very unnecessary dialogoues and moments in the first season, the second season lack these and it focuses on an old case that haunted the town. In addition to this, the acting is absolutely great in the second season, and you really enjoy the nature of Northern Finland.

I became quite hooked on the first series although I am not sure why. The characters were interesting and very three dimensional which is rare. The crime element was very much a sub plot. The gist of the series is about two very different cops coming to a brutal realisation of who they are and where they come from. The one thing it lacks, however, is any suspense whatsoever. Not a huge problem, but noticeable. However, season 2 for me is the whole package. I am only on episode 3 but felt compelled to write this review. The acting is fabulous. Matti Ristinen especially steals the show. There is palpable tension in every episode as the righteous but traumatise cop deals with a new world order on one side and suffocating, corrupt religious zealots on the other. Love it.

Can't wait for Season Two. Once I started watching series, couldn't stop. Well cast, acted, interesting plot twist, of essentially a "closed" community with its own particular dogma that all must adhere too, almost incestuous in tone. Dealt with sensitive issues both of community and two investigators struggling with their own karma. A must watch.
