Hamilton

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.

Hamilton has gone through many phases in Swedish filmatography. This setup is promising so far after the first episode. It captures the essence of the genre in a reliable but sped up way. I am looking forward to the rest of it

Hamilton had the potential to be an asskicking nametaking punch in the face king of series. Instead it has become nothing more than a watered down continuation of swedish cop series. If you seen Wallander or Beck, you basically seen hamilton already.

It does not introduce anything new, it does not even work on the great storyteller jan guillou's very awesome characteristics.

So far, after 3 episodes it is boring, it is on the verge of being more interesting than playing on my cellphone.

I would not recomend this to anyone except maybe those that can not sleep because this is as boring as it gets.

First season was good, i liked it alot.

Felt believable and down to earth, most of the time.

Second season is terrible.

Just another hollywood action series with characters doing rediculous stuff, acting misconduct and a just acting totally unprofessional all the time.

Not how you think of a realistic covert agent would act, not even close.

To bad, I was hoping it would follow the first seasons theme, but sadly no.

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!
