Quand revient le calme

A danish crime/drama centering around a presumed terror attack in Copenhagen, this drama clearly lends inspiration from the actual attacks in Paris on Nov 13 2015 and in Norway on July 22 2011. Still, it is very relevant as it maintains its significance while interpreting the effects of the attack on the people to a contemporary Danish point of view. Most of the series focuses on the different characters with relevance to the actual terror attack (victims, perpetrators and relatives). The drama is well told, even though some of the episodes might be a little too stretched out. Still, this is some of the best contemporary crime/drama I've seen from Denmark in a while, and it's a solid 9.5/10.

So well made! Danish know how to make good wellplayed series. The cast are awsome!

Coming from the UK we have suffered from some terrible attacks Manchester bombing, the 2012 London bombings. And several others going back to the IRA in the 1970's.

This show we see how a terrorist attack on a restaurant affects the family members of several people who are killed in the attack. We see how the perpetrators plan their attack and the buildup to how they ended up in the restaurant at the wrong time.

Beautifully written and extremely well acted I really can't recommend this show highly enough, ultimately what this show goes on to prove is that horrific terrorist attacks solve nothing only end the lives of innocent people with so much to live for. 9/10.

As an avid viewer of European drama I thought this was a clever story. I thought the way that everyone's story intersected was a great concept. The standard of acting was also very high.

Described by Ricky Gervais as a small screen masterpiece, and it is hard to disagree.

A genius piece of writing and some terrific performances, particularly from Jacob Lohmann and Karen-Lyse Mynster.

Admittedly, the slow, subtle build-up might lose a few viewers. I wondered if anything was actually happening in the early episodes, yet the seeds of several inconspicuous mini-plots had already been sown without my noticing.

The way in which the various stories interweave and play out may be the most impressive aspect. Some of the very best of Danish drama. - 8.8/10.
