Hassel

Not sure what the others who related this 1 star....you know not a lot of bad shows really deserved one star...so when someone rated something one star, you want to question their ability to know what is good or bad. This how does not have lots of useless and fake actions like Rambo or movies by someone like Steven Segal, but just something realistic and good story and good acting...no flashy, high level of special movie effect...

Just a good plot, good acting, and good interesting story to follow from beginning to end...that is all I can ask for.

(Sorry about the weird accent mark over 'e' in Hassėl, but IMDb does some automatic spelling and changes Hassėl to "Hassle" otherwise) If you're a fan of the "real" Roland Hassėl from early 90's, you'll get deeply disappointed.

Except for the name, this new "Hassėl" has NOTHING in common with the old series.

The personalities are not the same. They have just taken a few names, Hassėl, Ruda, Simon - but they have nothing in common with the old ones.

The stories do not have the same mood or manner. The story is over complicated, exaggerate, and giving a very distant perspective from reality - As opposed to the simple stories in the old Hassėl.

Recognizing Stockholm is not the same. In the old series, there were nice views of Stockholm, many places you could recognize. Here the camera is dizzy, they almost never show the surroundings without blurring the images.

If you have seen the old Hassėl and liked it, you will most likely get very disappointed if you see this. You'll get annoyed that they have stolen the name, but nothing from the feeling of the old Hassėl and nothing from the personalities.

If you haven't seen the old Hassėl, its also unlikely that you will like this series.

A piece if advise - just leave Hassėl 2017 unseen.

Only good thing about this is the music. Unrealistic, overdramatized and bad acting. Do not waste your time watching this. I gave i three stars for the effort and the music. The swedes are usually very good at making quality tv-shows.

Look at these reviews. I'm glad imdb have made reviews have to be at least 600 characters. Some of the one line reviews saying 'don't watch it, avoid, worst ever'. They are not reviews, just folk who trawl the internet and get angry when they don't understand something. So understand this. Amir Chamdin has a style. It's not for everyone, but obviously influenced by seventies cop/drama shows. The show moves really well and I think the cast is pretty perfect. Maybe 2 episodes to long. However, it does keep you gripped. For a binge show it's great. But now to the bad bits. The music/score is good. Nice to hear some guitars and not just drone keyboards. That said, I'm sure some of the lines where used in Amir Chamdin's Partisan. Infact, they are. Which leads me to the next point. I think Amir has a slight issue ending things. It's almost like when he's involved in a series the last episode is written the day before, or on the set. There was one moment in episode 8 I think where you could clearly see another camera in the shot which is pretty poor and would seem to justify my thoughts it was rushed. But I enjoyed it a lot, and I really hope Amir Chamdin peaks soon. He has some really good ideas.

I have nothing more to say than it's awful and don't watch it. .
