In literally EVERY SINGLE episode the main protagonists make stupid decisions after stupid decisions. And when they're not making stupid decisions they are having stupid conversations.

Funny thing is: It's still somehow enjoyable xd

I got hooked on The Rain when season one came to Netflix. It was a unique take on a post-apocalyptic world in which survival becomes the primary focus of your existence. There is some diabolical mystery behind what's happened to the world and it drew me in trying to figure out just what will be the fate of humanity. There was an interesting cast of characters and intricate relationships.

Then season two launched and someone decided the show should be more about teenage angst and hoping someone some day will fall in love with you. Yeah, death and evil are all around you, but getting a good kiss is really the only reason to survive anymore. I could barely watch every episode, kept hoping it would get better, and rolled my eyes repeatedly. I was going to explode if one more character blamed him- or herself for the latest tragedy that befell them and launched into a dialogue about their feelings for someone else in the group.Plus the plot simply became a series of go there, come back, go there again, come back, go again...

Season one was good, gripping SciFi. Season two was a YA romantic wannabe. It ended on a definite teaser for season three, so I hope someone with some dramatic, adult sense can steer it back on course.

After I watched the first episode I got very mad and frustrated. Plot and dialogues were terrible, it is almost like they wanted to make sure we really disliked the main characters for all the silly things they did.

However, my girlfriend convinced me to give it another try, then we watched the second episode. The second episode also had some really dumb moments, but it was much less than the first. Same for the third, until you get to a point when you feel very into it, and surprised, considering how terrible the first episode was.

Long story short, I don't blame all the 1 star reviewers here who didn't make past first episode. However, trust me, this is one of those rare cases where IT IS WORTH IT to be patient, and keep watching.

Like happened to, I bet you will be surprised how much you like it after just a few episodes.

Drink every time someone says Rasmus, but don't blame me when you get alcohol poisoning. Every third sentence begins with Rasmus. It's grating because it happens even when he's not on screen. He's absolutely insufferable as a character, adding insult to injury.

Please take the mic out of their mouths when various characters smooch. Macaroni in a pot.

Rasmus? Rasmus? Never have I seen a series where one name is half of the dialogue. A fast paced and enjoyable series though with some surprisingly good acting.

Ok this isn't the best thing I've watched this year but wow..

This series is pretty good. I'm not sure why people are complaining about the acting so vehemently. There are a lot of seasoned actors in this and they bring a presence and realism. Around eps 4-6 there are some touching and poignant moments. And they are created by the actors.

The script Is mildly loose at times. And the pace is at times recklessly fast. I would like to see characters develop more slowly and stay for longer.

I would recommend this to a friend with the above caveats. The hyperbolic vitriole on this site, in hand with senselessly low scores are confusing and not well supported. Save that rubbish for Facebook.

In spite of the fact its not aimed at my age demographic The Rain really is inherently watchable. I've read some rather stupid reviews of this series and my advice is, ignore them.

This is an excellent, inherently honest series that has an emotional and intellectual maturity you do not often see in series of this kind. The characters are real people, not the juvenile, shallow card board cut outs, you find in many US series cast in a similar vein.

The key characters have flaws, they make mistakes and sometimes they die. Indeed this series does not shy away from harming or killing off pivotal characters and its all the more interesting for it.

The pacing is fast and it never really slows. Indeed I raced through the first short season in two sittings and I really, really hope a second season is in the offing. The action is well done too and its balanced nicely by the human stories, that evolve as we get to know more about the key characters.

All in all a really polished, highly entertaining, post apocalyptic drama pitched at twenty somethings but also accessible by the rest of us. 8/10 from me.

I'm a couple of episodes in... And it's pretty good.

The first episode isn't very good but sets the scene alright. The few extras we see in the first couple of minutes seems to have been pulled straight from a school play. Their acting is cringy at best. But the two main characters does a good job with what they have. That is, the writing is terrible at times. In the first episode, "show, don't tell" is thrown completely out door. The female lead talks to herself (Disguised as talking to her missing father) and explains what is going on and how she feels. Something that is very easy to figure out for yourself without an explanation. Something terrible happens but doesn't seem to have any impact on the characters other than a short scene later on. Also, and I'm sure this isn't a big problem for people using subtitles, but at times they talk in a very proper way. Which is VERY strange for young people. Like any other language, Danish words have been spelled the same way for a long time... But the way words are pronounced change over time. It's feels forced, out of character and pulls you out of the moment.

Episode two and onwards gets a lot better though. It reminds me of the first season of The Walking Dead. With the two main characters trying to navigate this new world. With very different obstacles. The new group of diverse (If not a bit one dimensional) characters helps the story move along and makes for some interesting interactions. It would seem they could learn from each other. The main characters, how to survive in a new world. And many from the group, how to remain humane and not become full blown baddies.

All in all, I'll give it a 7/10. A rocky start but gets better. I'll be watching the few remaining episodes over the next couple of days.

I watched til the season 3 ending...and I just felt like I wasted my time. 1st episode spoke volumes. I disliked the children immediately but I love apocalypse themes and you never know if they have some character development later on. Turns out shouldn't have put that much hope.

If you're watching this and didn't like the 1st episode already..skip it. It's just gonna be bonkers and stupidity til the end. If you liked it then um all I can say is that the plot just goes all over the place..especially the 3rd season. Lol that was laughable and a bit sad.

Still figuring out why I watched all 3 seasons of this. The plot has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. I found myself eagerly wanting it to end. Bad dialogue, irritating characters in terrible wardrobe, patchy acting, too much crying over one dimensional love interests, and a weird fixation with burial scenes throughout. Puzzling stuff.

Entertaining, but not very original. It is heavily influenced by other post apocalyptic productions, and it shows. 28 days later, The Road, The Walking Dead, Children of Men, The Last of Us, Half-Life 2. Elements of all these movies and games are in The Rain. Of course, this doesn't have to be a problem, but I repeatedly found myself thinking: "Ah, they took this concept from Half-Life 2" and "This setting is a combination of The Walking Dead and 28 Days Later". Entertaining, but because of the blatant (sometimes on actual shot level) copying of other productions, The Rain will probably go down in history as something good, but not great.

I have only watched the first two episodes but I am finding it reasonably engaging. The complaints about the acting are absurd. There is nothing wrong here in that department. Perhaps the haters should watch some other Danish television for perspective. Also, compare it to the crap SyFy was putting out during the aughts. This acting is just fine as far as I am concerned.

The other complaint seems to be that the characters do stupid things, but having suffered though the first six seasons of The Walking Dead before I gave up over the stupidity of the writing, (I only made it through one season of Fear the Walking Dead) I have so far seen nothing that is inconsistent with what kids, locked up when they were quite young, would do when they were released into a devastated world.

I plan on continuing watching. It is far better than much of what is currently available on TV or streaming, in the sci fi genre.

If you think you hate Rasmus and Simone by the end of season 2, wait for season 3, you are just hoping they die by the end of every episode... that was what kept me watching it, waiting to see them both dead.

This is the kind of show you need to see it completely before rating. The first two episodes won't catch you right away. As a matter of fact, the first one was terrible in my opinion. However, as the plot goes on it gets more interesting in every episode. Yes...it has several downs from time to time in the plot. But overall will end being a great experience. Not the best I've ever seen, but worth it. You'll see.

First season was really keeping you interest, making you wonder. Season 2 had some problems but not terrible. But season 3 was compeletly terrible, and could have ended in two episodes.

For me I would rate this show 75-80% of satisfaction because some characters are a bit annoying and in some scenes are so slow without a proper reason but overall is quite entertaining. I'm looking forward for Season 2

Seems a little strange that a lot of reviewers seem frustrated that 2 people locked up in a bunker for 6 years lack the skills to maximise their survival and make some stupid decisions. I felt the storyline was OK through most of the series though was a little disappointed with the ending. I felt the flashbacks added to your understanding of the characters and gave them a little depth. The acting probably was a little wooden in parts and I didn't like that Netflix dubbed it rather than use subtitles. It probably would have been better as a movie than a miniseries, some episodes definitely didn't add to the story arc and were a waste of time. Overall though, it was enjoyable to watch and reasonably well executed for the genre.

I did find this series surprisingly watchable with some good episodes, though, the characters continual super unrealistic actions are a constant in the series. You must prepare to watch stupidity of the highest order from main characters. And you will watch this show until the end. Mainly in the hope that many of the characters die in the series. Apart from Patrick - who is the boi.

I've watched shows a way lot worse than this. I'm giving this a 7 Some of the ratings of 1/ 2 are from people who went and watched all 18 episodes. Nonsense - you don't watch a show that long if it was genuinely that terrible.

The first season starts off as an interesting apocalyptic scenario where humanity suddenly die from the rain. There is an attempt to create a credible backlog story to this involving a dodgy pharmaceutical company. In season 2, the themes shift around and the story tends to focus more on the relationships that occur between the main characters, with some tense and well produced scenes. Season 3 becomes a mishmash of various different themes, with this season being a bit rushed overall, and definitely my least favourite of the 3.

The script is fast paced and very loose at times. I'd of liked to have seen more depth in the story that is started with. It lost its way with the love relationships, which are annoying and add little value. Overall it's watchable and worth giving the first few episodes a try to see if it's for you.
