... this was a tough one to stick with all the way through... brought to watching by Danielsen Lie having just seen him in The Worst Person in the World where he was great... disappointed by Seizure... just so consistently-confusingly dark-cinematography, with a story to match... was hoping as it went along that it would become clearer what was happening, but it never does

... one of those films you expect-hope would become better-understood with another viewing or two.. yet you're just not at all sure you want to put in the time-effort.

Besatt started interesting and promising, but then the dreams and flashbacks began to add confusion (some remained totally unclear), and the course of events and construction of scenes became too far-fetched. Well, Oslo is not among the biggest city in the world, but the intertwining of past and present was a bit too much within a small group of people, and several supporting characters did not provide additional value to the Series. So, suddenly the final episode had to finalise stuff not properly dealt with before, becoming a hasty round-up of otherwise protracted scenes. The main cast, the 2 (Anders Baasmo Christiansen, Anders Danielsen Lie), are well performed, not talkative and pensive as Norwegians tend to be,.. But the best performance is apparently by Marius Kolbenstvedt, although his character had too little significance for the whole narration. So, Besatt is not a flop, but rather mediocre, as Norway has produced many really interesting and versatile series this century. It is not a must to see.

Binged it over 3 nights ... and left completely confused. The last episode looked like they took 50 scenes, chucked them up in the air and then edited them together randomly. It was just bizarre. Ok, as we got through the episodes there was some surreal stuff going on, but I thought it would come together and be explained. Sadly, I was wrong. The car crash ??? The eels ?? The bodies in the pool ??

I am used to watching Scandi, French and Belgian noir and thoroughly enjoying it. I am used to disliking or failing to bond with almost all the characters, in fact I would be suspicious if there was someone I actually liked. I am used to slow starts, gradual and complex storylines, so I was prepared to forgive Seizure at first, assuming it would all fall into place eventually. But this show was excruciating. What at first appeared to be a story about an investigation into the drowning death of four young asylum seekers became a confusing supernatural introspective of the two investigating police officers who both feel guilt and responsibility for unrelated recent events. And the eels. And the water.... And the flashbacks, nightmares and pseudo reality. It was crap. The only reason I gave it two stars was because of some of the acting. I can't believe I watched it through to the end.

Anders Baasmo saves this series, the rest of cast is unskilled... Anders Danielsen Lie did a great job in ""22 July", but his carachter in this series is portayd very similar and that is just wrong.. Police methods have not been checked by the scriptwriters. specially in episode 4 its really bad.. And all the pc stuff they put in to this didnt help the show I wanted to turn this off many times, but had to finish it.

A story of two police detectives who want to find out how four young men died andthe fifth disappeared. The two police detectives are both with deep personal and family problems, which help explain their motivation to be detectives. While the crime in question is being slowly investigated, a serious of bizarre events infuses this crime drama with an atmosphere that helps tell more about detectives, making their personalities deeply carved and believable. Supporting characters of Max's wife (portrayed by Selome Emmetu) and Sander's brother (portrayed by Marius Kolbenstvedt) are keeping the story glued to bleak reality of the lost opportunities and bitter losses in life. While the pace of drama development is a bit slow, it allows viewer to think of motives of all characters. Photography could have been somewhat better, but some special effects are above the standard. With all the differences in story and style, Besatt can be described as the Nordic version of Twin Peaks - but without those humorous episodes.

From the first episode it was easy to see that this would be a pile of rubbish! Nothing made any sense. Characters appear on the scene without any context or background to let the viewers know who they are or what their role is in the series. The scenes are randomly stuck together without any continuity, so there;s no way to tell what's happening. As the series progresses, it does not get any better. The dialog is stupid, consisting of short disjointed sentences that add little to the story. There is a lot of water and flooded basements, and everything is just very dirty and grungy. By the third episode, it was time to stop watching and move on to something else. Where does rubbish series like this even come from?

I don't know what I just watched. Nothing was explained. The eels. Supernatural? I don't know. You couldn't tell. Don't waste your time on this show.

Well acted, very natural and realistic. Well done!

This was a great series to watch, typical of so many non english speaking series today. well acted and produced.
