Heksejakt

As Norwegian there was a time, when I believed corruption in high places & government level doesn't / shouldn't happen in the best democracy I know. Unfortunately we know now that no country is protected from greed & power that people with money & connection to high places.

With a really interesting beginning, which builds a labor persecution in retaliation for the denunciation of an irregularity, the story unfolds taking a predictable path, stretching the main plot with twists that end up being absurd. The series has two very different parts: a first one of excellent in crescendo tension, and a second one (the minister's subplot) that falls into the void of redundancy. Something similar happened with "Frikjent" (TV2, 2015-), the previous show of its creators. There is a promising start and a stuttering development.

Had a lot of potential, but falls victim to cheap and predictable plot twists again and again

Working in a similar field I can confirm that these kind of activities and the difficult dilemmas they pose for compliance staff are all too common.

I found the series a great binge watch, with entertaining if predictable plot turns and excellent acting.

My main criticism is that while virtually every male is portayed in a negative way (dishonest, greedy, sexist, weak, alcoholic, bullying, unpleasant) all of the several female leads are honest, caring, likeable, intelligent and downtrodden. This blanket approach to characterisations is very obvious and becomes tiresome quite quickly. A little more balance between the sexes would have been appropriate.

I thought this would be a dull series than after the first emission i got catch.i like it very much when we can see photos and ways that foreign country live !!
