Greyzone

Greyzone, an underrated deep Thriller Drama with Nordic vibes and a very interesting premise, well-developed and exploring nicely the Stockholm syndrome on the way. Its strength is its acting and story.

• (+) Suspenseful and thrilling screenplay and storyline's plots. Some scenes had you on the edge of your seat.
• (+) Character-driven series with awesome emotional moments.
• (+) Wonderful and believable acting by Victoria (Birgitte Hjort Sørensen) and Iyad (Ardalan Esmaili) with nice touches of chemistry between them, Pretty good job from all the supporting cast; Also liked the character of Jesper (Joachim Fjelstrup) very much.
• (+) Very good filming and beautiful aerial shots.
• (+-) Good score. Could have been more intense.

The spectrum of emotions shown by Birgitte Hjort Sørensen was just outstanding. A show that deserves a lot more reviews and recognition.

The depth and attention to details of Scandinavian series never cease to amaze me.

Global terrorism and mass killings in bigger Western cities have alas become annual reality, so topical films and series may excite additional interest, they are less "sci-fi" than decades ago. On the other hand, technology and surveillance skills have developed, so it is harder to create additional thrill or twists by using wow!-findings or ideas later - they seem fictitious, airy-fairy...

The latter is at times present in Greyzone as well, particularly for them who are eager viewers of (Scandinavian) crime dramas - like me. I am neither agent nor policeman, but methods used / using a scientist in such operations seem rather questionable. True, when setting this aside, the script goes on smoothly, the characters/performances (particularly Birgitte Hjort Sørensen and Tova Magnusson) are pleasant, and the inclusion of different nations/languages provides additional value. But still, having seen dozens of similar series, I find Gråzon far above average, but not conceptual, and viewers outside Northern Europe may find it even less valuable.

A very exciting watch all the way through with well developed plot delivered by a strong cast. Up there with The Bridge and The Killing imo and can't understand some of the rather more negative reviews on IMDb

I am a huge fan of this show. I've seen the four first episodes and cant wait to see the rest. Fantastick manuscript, acting, suspense. I want more now!

This is the best miniseries I have seen for quite some time. The plot is believable, acting superb, thrilling & highly suspenseful.
