Kriger

This six part Danish crime series is centred on CC, an ex-soldier, and Louise, a police officer whose late husband served under CC in Afghanistan. When the police are looking way to infiltrate a biker gang, The Wolves, that is believed to be involved in the drug trade, Louise suggests CC. He agrees and sets about befriending Mads, a young man on the fringes of the group who is keen to be fully included. Some gang members aren't keen on CC but after he proves useful he is accepted by Tom, the leader. It isn't long before CC learns that the gang is expecting a consignment of heroin from the Italian Mafia. There is also a rival group to worry about. As the story progresses and CC gets deeper involved he must question just how far he is prepared to go to get the job done.

While this isn't the best crime drama to come out of Denmark, it is after all up against some stiff opposition, it is entertaining. Dar Salim impresses as protagonist CC, Danica Curcic is solid as Louise and Lars Ranthe is suitably menacing as Tom; the rest of the cast is solid too. At only six episodes in length things never drag and there are plenty of exciting moments and ramping tension throughout. Towards the end things get a melodramatic, perhaps a little bit too much, but it didn't spoil my overall enjoyment of the series. Overall I wouldn't say this is a must see but it passes the time well so I'd still recommend it to fans of the genre.

These comments are based on watching the series in Danish with English subtitles.

This series had LOADS of potential.. truly.. and started off really well... Then it just drops off and fills up with countless cliche's I suppose to try and attract a wider audience..

The writers really dropped the ball here.. and I think that stem's from perhaps writing material without any true basic understanding of it.. Lots of very far fetch and frankly nonsensical situations transpire after around 3rd episode that by the 5th I felt I had been insulted enough and just removed it from my library at home... and I REALLY like that lead actor.. alot... I just wish they would have had a better grasp on what they were writing about..

It is an ok show to watch, as it's filmed well, the actors are good, but is straight forward without real tension. Just simple good story that no one tried to take the maximum out of it. The ending is a bit weak as development, but overall positive 6 stars.

A simple story, typical the good cop vs the bad ruthless drug traffic dealer, chapters are gripping and intense. Main character a war veteran playing an undercover crook playing in the burrow of the bad guys. The end result a blend of an American action series with a Scandinavian noir. Ok but nothing else

This series takes place in Denmark and the dialogues are all in Danish. Therefre I don't it's easy to make comments on the quality of the actor's performances. Reading what the actors say and trying to match the subtitles to their faces is decidedly different from experiencing the performances, needless to say. However, the actors seem very talented. I can't say with certainty that the actors delivered good performances, but they did at least seem to be acting well. The characters themselves appeared quite interesting, and the show did seem very well-written. In one particularly emotionally striking scene that shows the series' potential as a drama, the widowed detective's child asks his deceased father's commanding officer if he gave the order that got the boy's father killed. The officer replies only "yes," but the tears in his eyes and pained expression on his face tell an entire story of tragedy and loss.
