Kamikaze

There's something that keeps you hanging in there, but DON'T. It doesn't get better and in the end you realize it's just an empty drama with almost no redeeming qualities and certainly a poor ending with no message.

Wonder about people who seem to have it all? This show examines the meaning of life using an original plot about loss & love. What it means to be alive & what we value. Brilliant writing with much subtext. Great acting all around.

It could go either way. First, it could get pretty dark and there seem to be hints it will go in that direction. Second, it could get pretty silly, which would be a shame.

Although set in Denmark with Danish characters, the dialog is in English. You will follow the protagonist dealing with depression and confusion following the loss of her parents and brother in a plane crash as any person, much less an 18 year old, would.

But, at the same time, you see glimpses of an event which happens in the future which makes you wonder how she got in that position and I guess that is enough to keep my interest at this point. Hope it stays that way.

Worth a watch if it comes up on your watch list.

I would rate this an 11 just for Marie Reuther's acting performance. Another reviewer says he/she can't relate to the character but how can you unless you're in a similar situation.

Four episodes in and it feels like a mélange of other self-destructive stories we've seen before, all centered around loss. At times it tries to be clever, exploiting the juxtaposition between carnal human instinct and nature, while other times the content is quite lethargic and apathetic. The affluent background of the protagonist does lend itself to some writing flexibility with more adventure, but even a jet set lifestyle doesn't surmount the reality this is a slow burn story. Perhaps the biggest fault for me has been lack of relatability to the character despite being halfway through the series. Out of nothing more than curiosity, I will probably watch the remaining episodes to see whatever advent may come.
