Sthlm Rekviem

It took a few episodes to understand the relationships, of characters. But the ambiance and theme of the writing and production overcame the hiccup. Would love to see this has another series,but that seems unlikely. Fabulous from start to finish.

I watched all ten episodes of Stockholm Requiem just over a year ago and watched them again more recently. I enjoyed the series just as much as I did the first time. Quality drama is always worth a second viewing.

Essentially consisting of five double episodes, Stockholm Requiem is a well written and directed crime drama with engrossing storylines and engaging performances by the cast, including some familiar faces from The Bridge, The Killing and Borgen amongst others. I loved the theme music too.

Season Two of Stockholm Requiem is definitely needed. Several burning questions require answers. For example, will we see Peder again? Is creepy Torbjörn ok? Will Alex ever crack a smile? On the subject of Alex, for heaven's sake it is blindingly obvious that Fredrika and Alex should be a couple - I shouted it at the screen more than once! Please make it happen.

Stockholm Requiem is a well crafted drama worth your consideration.

Not so successful adaptation of brilliant books. Could have been done so much better, look at "innan vi dør» and other brilliant Swedish crimeshows.

A series with good acting, interesting storylines, but with soulless character personalities completed with an awful score.

Would you like to see a depressed investigations unit, follow their demons and psychological weaknesses, that's the series for you. The writers and producers even managed to waste Alexej Manvelov's acting and presence.

Anti-depressants for most involved would have raised the bar. A disgrace to the Noir genre and Scandinavian fine shows.

Ok some of the police stuff seemed rather far fetched but the main story and interweaving of the plots was good. Not sure why the ones that got away werent charged in the first place? But the action was good. I did think 3456 were anti immigrant, but Bond films are always political, racist and sexist. I loved the lead characters and it was well acted.
