I saw all eight episodes in two nights. It was exciting, good and well put together. It kept me away from my mobile phone for all eight episodes. That is a clear sign of quality, for me. The actors did a superb job and I think it's very cool that the two brothers are actually brothers in real life too. It had good bad guys, got me convinced all the way. The kinda shady crooks we all know are out there.

The director did a superb job here too. I felt this show and it got me wanting to see more! I just need more. I love finding shows like this, playing the first episode and going "yeess, this is awesome" inside of my head. Being a former crook myself at a young age, doing time in different jails, I found the jail part VERY exciting in this.

My final thoughts: You get what is promised here. Bravo to all involved. And thank you for making my two nights in this corona time exciting and for giving me a break from my own problems in life. 9/10

If you enjoy a slow burn that needs concentration and thought that's just the start. Excellent character building from great actors. Well put together and a story that is a little different from some of the predictable out there. In the UK its on the Channel 4 Walter Presents and with respect he very rarely recommends a duffer. I enjoyed it very much and the actors who play the two brothers, have been chosen so well. Quite brutal at times but so is life. Don't believe the negatives they are obviously those who can't think, don't like to think and those who prefer predictable mind numbing offerings.

The storyline was well conceived and there were plenty of twists and turns, particularly for the protagonist, Adam. The characters were all believable, although I thought Tommy's wife would have been much harder.

But... there were two many long close up shots and slow panning shots that added nothing to the plot and just made the pace of the story falter. There were also a lot of pregnant pauses and nearly every character had a problem answering simple questions, which was very frustrating. The screenplay therefore also meant the story kept losing pace and at times was boring.

A shaper script and less prolonged shots would be a must for a second series.

This is just a awesome show. Realy love the caracters, hope it get's renewed because i would love to see this story evolve.

This series has a strong start and a good benchmark, the plot is full of twists, especially for the main characters. Most of them are believable, although some are a little too soft for their roles (e.g. Tommy's wife); the brothers, Jakob and Adam, are depicted by real brothers Sebastian and Andreas Jessen, but they do not belong to the TOP20 or so of the Danish actors...

The main story is about power struggles between different people - men and women, friends, and the police. The plot is set up well in terms of the number of episodes and it's not hard to follow. It's easy to get into and enjoyable, especially if you've watched other Nordic crime shows. However, there are some problems. There are too many slow, close-up shots and long pauses that don't add anything to the story.

The script could be sharper, and the characters often struggle to answer simple questions, which becomes frustrating after a while.

The second half of the Series isn't as strong. After a solid first few episodes, the plot becomes confusing and hard to follow. The ending feels somewhat unclear and disappointing. It might be left open on purpose, possibly to set up the Season 2, which has not been accomplished.

All in all, definitely no waste of time, but Denmark has created dozens of more fascinating crime series.
