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.

If you're like me fed up with thriller hype, overdosed violence, postmodern sex scene cliches and banality of abundant f-word use, try Nordic, in which you can have fine drama with breathless pace minus artificial ingredients. People look more real and actors behave more real in Nordic drama along with realistic screenplay and dialogs. Actors are natural method actors who will deliver intimacy and authenticity. This one delivered so well that I binge watched in 2 nights. Switch to Nordic or Spanish drama.

Anyone who have followed in Norway Tore Tønne case will realize that this series is partly based on true story.

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.

Enjoyable, tense drama from start to finish. Did not find it predictable. Excellent acting from main characters. More credible and better developed than many British series.
