Top Dog

Watched the complete season in 3 nights. Loved the actors, the scenes and the mingle of the upperground with the underground. Also the continous internal battle of Teddy of being a good guy or a bad guy. Maybe a season 2?

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!!

Have read Jens Lapidius books and have enjoyed them and the characters a lot. The Top Dog series really captures the essence and each episode carries the story forward in an impressive way. Hope for more seasons to come!

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.

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.
