I dina händer

I must say that the overwhelming positive reviews are quite exaggerated. That goes to show that people doesn't really know what the reality looks like.

For me, it gets a 5.0. I was quite positive due to the fact that the creator was also behind a precious truly important drama-series about a school shooting, but with all the incorrect little details, this series just made me disappointed.

The topic is a highly relevant one, but it's quite tragic that they choose a white boy from a middleclass home as the protagonist. There is a lot of things to criticize. The surroundings, the police officers who seemilgly knows everybodys names and are super involved with these kids lives, something that is NOT a fact in reality. It is evident that the writer is someone from a completly different background than the one that is portrayed in this series. Everything is so very out of a white perspective, with little to none focus on different cultures, religion, the state of the society and so on that plays a big role in reality. Gotta hand it to the youngsters though, their acting was alright.

However I still think that it shows a perspective of someone who does not live in that kind of enviornment looking in, rather than from a perspective of those who actually live in the surroundings that the series are supposedly about.

Most of all i'm disappointed by the fact that it's praised so much. Just goes to show that critics doesn't know what good stuff is.

Really?! A single mom with three kids and the son is wearing high end clothes. I don't think so!

And absolutely not every kid in these areas are wearing Boss, Adidas, Nike and others!

The story is weird and all clips from the past till present is confusing when it goes back and forth with no difference in light or colour.

I was very hopeful in the beginning but the story writer has not that many clues about what it's like in the real suburbia, Stockholm.

Then, I must say that it's very nicely filmed so you can't really tell exactly where in Stockholm it is supposed to happened.

Please do better research next time. Thank you!

This director is pretty brilliant. Everything is in your face and personal. The care of characters kind of questions if this is a real story. The distortion of law enforcement has a bit of sentiment but seems like a job at the end of the day. While everyone care no one does.

I love the show's direction, cinematography. It is up my alley in taste if you are someone that like movies like End of Watch and shows like The Wire.

The cameras have very interesting angles. Sometimes you get a shoulder cam while other times steady. The dynamic affects the way you feel throughout. I thought that was interesting.

Overall, to keep short this is a good 7.8 with a magnetic intensity.

Regardless whatever political view you may have, you will likely agree that this series describe the current gang violence problem in Sweden painfully well. Young kids who are trapped in suburbs and sucked into the gangs, either because they don't see anything else, or that they are simply too afraid to say stay out. A law enforcement system, that tries to nail down the rotten apples who use young kids for the dirty work, but too often fails. Fiction, yes indeed. But some parts are painfully real. What the series does best is that it helps the watcher to realise that 1) the bad guys don't have any specific skin color and 2) there is no quick fix.

In the gray shadows of modern Sweden, where echoes of reality softly bounce off stark walls, the series "I Dina Händer" ("In Your Hands") offers a poetic glimpse into contemporary life. This series is a masterpiece of nuance and empathy, where the music does not merely serve as a backdrop but stars prominently, with melodies that touch both heart and soul.

The acting of the young cast is particularly outstanding, bringing a mature seriousness to the portrayal of teenage complexities. Their performances are nothing short of stunning, infusing the series with depth and believability rarely seen. These young actors masterfully convey a spectrum of emotions, resonating with a nuanced understanding of human vulnerability.

Not only does the series approach modern reality with a sharp lens, but it also portrays the complexities of police work in a manner that is both thorough and honest. Each scene is carefully crafted, with the tension of investigations interwoven with the everyday realities of the officers and the people they protect.

"I Dina Händer" is more than just a series; it is a study of life and survival, love and conflict, seen through the eyes of those who mirror society. It is an artistic endeavor that challenges, moves, and ultimately enriches the viewer.
