Top Dog

The characters lack personality. There's not much to like, the criminals are boring and the lawyers bland and predictable. The dialogue has no individuality and the central criminal is dull. The plot is OK and telling the story from both sides has merit but it was not enough to sustain my interest.

Have not read the books. But this series was interesting with very good acting. Intricate and converging story lines. A second series could very easily pick up where the first series left off. Would like to see continuation of the Swedish story and follow the characters next steps.

I watched the two series back to back.

Although I did enjoy watching these dramas, there was so much that did not make any sort of sense it that it was very frustrating.

Characters behaving differently to suite whatever scenario they were faced with.

I found the lead female character, played by Josefin Asplund, just not convincing. It wasn't her fault, it was the script which had her doing all sorts of investagative legalise without sharing this with the viewer.

Just walking into top jobs, partuclalrly the last one, was just no plausible.

This was also a very violent drama.

In these current times when there is supposed to be zero tolerence on racism, then it is hardly sympathetic to this ideal to cast gangs of muerderous posychopaths living out little Serbia in Sweden.

Another things in the dramam which was noticeable by absence, was a police force. They hardly made any appearane at all despiter the many urders, brutal attacks, kidnapping, extyortion, fraud etc, etc. I watched the two series back to back.

Characters behaving differently to suite whatever scenario they were faced with and illogical decisions being made just to suite the storyline.

Worst of all was the Teddy/Sara relationship in prison .... Really??? I don't think so!!

... year upon year, there are many productions of this genre.. this one of the better ones... all facets working well together bring an entertaining series into two seasons so far

... several great characters have been removed, so if going now into a third-season-series, they shall need be replaced by others hopefully as good... getting good reviews from many viewers, rightfully so, as it's not that easy a task as this show makes it appear

... another season up to similar standards not much to ask, but never that easy to achieve... this part of the world knows how to create entertaining-crime-dramas... keep-'em-coming.

Fascinating storyline: surprising plot twists and lots of despicable characters in a bleak winter city in Sweden.

Captivating actors: truly believable when they start digging in the dirt, uncovering layer after layer, discovering lies and finding truths, but not really knowing how to deal with both. The good are not so good, the bad are not so bad, and the right thing to do, might not be the right thing to do... It's often not so easy to change one's life, even if one really wants to. There are friends, family and colleagues holding you back (sometimes at gunpoint); there are loved ones you can not leave.

I binged both seasons in three days, and now I'm hoping for a third one.
