I'm just glad I didn't read the reviews before hand and would of probably steered clear. Thanks I didn't. This 6 part drama has it all. Don't listen to the doubters, it's great right up until the final second.

Firstly the user that gave it tens stars has one review in their IMDB history, meaning they are probably in some way affiliated with this production. I'l keep it short: I'm a fan of Scandinavian noir police procedurals. But at this point a fair LOT of total garbage is being made in this genre and this is a perfect example. The acting is just unbelievably bad. so is the script dialogue and plot. Worst of all it deploys the same tropes and spot cliches that are becoming utterly tedious in the genre: Immigrant victim? Check. Lots of didactic moralizing? check. Ending plot twist to wrap everything in a bow, but is insulting to intelligence of audience? Check.

... overall, it got saved a bit by the last couple episodes, but just a bit... were it a decent feature movie length, it would have been sooo much better... way it is now, at well over four hours is just excessive for the story... acting, production values-scenery are fairly decent... it's a lot the writing throws all things off
... some of the twists and turns are inventive, especially the final ninety minutes or so, but on their own cannot carry a plot-story too drawn out for time extended... most of the reviewers are more positive than deserved, but that's what makes some of these Euro-productions more interesting-watchable.

After watching the trailer and reading reviews I was very skeptical at watching this series. So I just put it on my long waiting list of potential series to watch for a long time. But today I needed something without too many episodes to be able to binge the whole thing in just one night. I also felt like watching a scandinavian crime serie. And since I have seen most scandinavian series there was not that many series that fitted all criterias that I havent already seen so I decided to give it a shot, very prepared to exit if I didnt like it.
And I am very glad I did. I think this is surprisingly one of the better series in this genre. It is not a masterpiece like "The bridge" or "Before we die". But it is a very good and intense thriller with characters that you care for. All technical aspects are great and very cinematic, and the casting is very good. And it has a great story with some twists that you might not see coming even if you think you have figured it all out. And as a bonus you might also learn something about some social and criminal issues.
I cant understand where all the reviews that rates it below average come from. Please ignore those and give it a try. My best guess would be that some of those reviews come from people who can't deal with the series taking twists and turns that you would not see in many american series that are sanitized to death to not upset anyone. Sometimes those twists mean that the story does not end very happy for everyone in the story. But the very fact that its unpredictable make it much more thrilling cause you are never sure of what its capable of doing. So give it a go. If you like scandinavian or european crime series I am pretty sure you will like this.

I see myself as an somewhat experienced scandinavian crime watcher with maaaaany many series under my belt. Unfortunatly this series did not meet my expectations. From the first episode i got the feeling that this was going to be a bad one, but the storyline was in itself interesting so i figured i would give it a go anyways.
Well, sad to say, that was many hours a waste! The supriseing end did not make up for it. The dialouges are flawed and not belivable, the so-called detective work from the police is not credible. Many of the actors does not act well, and overall i feel like this series was just «thrown» together in a hurry with no regards to good screenplay or storyline. Sweden has SO many good crime series out there, this was not one of them.

Watch, enjoy, think.
If you want to be 'wowed' by a quick fix, move on. Thought the Scandinavian series had got stuck in a rut, this proved me wrong.

This serie has blown me away.It has it all.Trafficking, corruption, deprivation, psychology.Caracters are portrayed fantastic, you nearly get sympathy with some of the bad ones.But this is also teared away swiftly.Seriously, this serie is the best of the millenium.Watch watch watch, you will be deeply involved , and many of the actors are eminent .

The story is well conceived and well acted. At times, it is both grim and hard-hitting.
Fiction aside, the viewer may even be prompted to pause and consider the real girls who choose this risky way out of a dead-end life.
If those aspects came across well, then there were also some misgivings. As a theme, sex-trafficking, drugs and violence has been done to death in recent years, so it would take something very special to stand out from the crowd. This didn't quite hit those heights.
It should also be pointed out - and I've seen others mention it too - that the dialogue is frequently too abrupt to be realistic. - 7.7/10.

Wallander, The Bridge, The Killing, Borgen. Scandinavia has given us some excellent drama series. Sadly, however, a slew of rubbish shows has followed in their wake. This one is typical. Predictable, under produced, under scripted with two dimensional stereotypes. Motivations, actions and scripts have huge gaps. Conversations which would have been had are simply not there. Disappointed.

It's about a girl who gets tricked into, what? You guessed it, prostitution, because that's all anyone can think of to write when it comes to female characters. This is getting repetitive, give us something new and exciting, not recycled material from the U.S.

The first episode promises a interesting plot. The second goes deeper. With the third it gets boring. Filmed in cool colours. Overrated and not enough depth. It's a pity ...

An overly contrived and implausible storyline. Don't waste your time watching this pos.

I have read the book which I thought was really good but the series is not like the book. Saw 20 minutes at the first episode but it was not at all like in the book so I turned it off. Should you make a series or movie of a book do the right thing and not invent your own story.
