Círculo de Confiança

I don't know if this was on purpose but the character of Joel is one of the most irritating annoying looking people I've ever had the displeasure of laying eyes on. You just want to punch him by just looking at him. I haven't got far enough into the show to give it a thumbs up but if you like looking at annoying people then you should watch it.

This was well paced and each episode was absorbing, something that cannot be said of UK dramas these days.

There is a strong cast with a few familiar faces from shows like Modus, Bonus Family, The Bridge, Jordskott with some excellent performances throughout.

A quite excellent subtly amusing performance from Barbro Larsson as a detective.

There is also a very strange performance from Olle Sarri as unhinged Uncle Joel, which had to be tongue in cheek surely. His hairstyle has to be the most ridiculous in TV history, it must have been intentional.

Don't pay any attention to the negativity in the reviews. Give this a go and you will not be disappointed.

If you like 'Thicker than water' 'Borgen' then this is right up your street. If you like blood guns and the usual it's not. The script has a good pace and the engagement with the actors is good. If your a huge fan of most things nordic and fancy a lockdown binge watch, it's gold.....Bring on season 2 please...And make it available world wide.

Very dissapointing, sentimental swedish series. No at all at the Mankell level. Acting ok, but casting bad, especially brother of David. Nice attractive setting and sunny environment however, .... the latter not so Swedish.
