Hamilton

From a slightly slow start this show to me got better and turned out to be great. I've seen all earlier Hamilton performances, and this one I find gives a fresh and new go to the character. Really looking forward to the future shows with this actor as Hamilton. Recommend you give it more than one episode!

Lots of interesting threads in this plot. The dialogue is pretty realistic and they avoid having characters do stupid things just to move the plot along. So, very watchable. It must be impossible for the Swedish directors to hear that Rowena King's American accent is horrible. Usually the Brits handle the accents perfectly, so we understand if they trusted that she could. But, not. Nonetheless, this nitpicking aside, very entertaining.

Even in the topsy-turvy of thrillers dealing with terrorism, cyberattacks. Betrayal and individualistic heroes, it is often difficult to expect something fresh or wow - or then it is implemented at the expense of logic and realism. In this sense, Hamilton is "average", still with some twists and turns, but generally in the "ploughed furrow" of similar series. The performances are pleasant, with some actors performing in many Swedish productions, but the are characters not providing much complement, and their background is rather uninteresting (refers mostly to female characters). To my surprise, the Series includes 2 of my countrymen in the 1st grade supporting cast - Reimo Sagor and Rein Oja, both well known film/series actors here.

Well, the Scandinavians have set the bar high and Hamilton is definitely no Innan vi dör or Springfloden, but it excels many e.g. US series. Thus, do not exert too much criticism :)

PS Season 2 is again a kind of "poor man´s" Bond or Mission Impossible series... Its creators attempt to streamline the plots as much as possible, but as Sweden is no "hawk" in the global secret agent arena, the outcomes are too trivial and "arid", and the amount of predictabilities and cliches is almost too much.

In itself, this is not a bad series: the acting was good, locations interesting and good camerawork. However - and this may be me - the last episode was a disappointment in that I cannot make any sense of the actual storyline.

For most of you who do not speak Swedish and expect an American action movie serie you might be disappointed if some way or another. The story is great as well as the acting. I'm a big critic when it comes to movies and TV Shows but I found Hamilton extremely entertaining and very well made. I myself have a hard time liking movies in languages I can't understand, so I get you if this is an set back. But I encourage you to sit down, relax and enjoy this. Wishing you all a good time!
