Mädät omenat

A great Finnish drama. The acting was superb, especially by the main character. I was booked quite early into episode one and I finished all 8 within 3 days. I became so invested in each of the characters and wanted to know more about their lives. I hope we get a second season.

I was sucked into this show within the first few minutes. The characters are rich and diverse as each person's back story and their individual demons are slowly revealed. I watched the first 6 episodes in one sitting last night and as it got too late had to finish the last two episodes today. The series has the nailbiting, somewhat claustrophobic and sometimes frustrating tension as similar shows, such as the handmaid's tale for example, the similarity being loss of control over one's life. This is an edge of your seat thriller with excellent performances by the cast, the reason I'm rating it 9 stars instead of 10 is the ending. The last episode felt rushed and slightly confusing with too many subplots happening. The not so pleasant twist in the end I could have done without, unless of course there will be another season which I certainly hope for! Otherwise, one feels almost let down after all the emotional investment!

What a brilliant Series. The Actors were outstanding and I think we can all agree that what was portrayed was very real and has been and still is, in practice today as many of us have read as Tories of atrocities in the USA which had been stated by many people to have been part of the CIA and the after affects of people said to have been used/set up to carry out Terrorist and School attacks. Well worth watching and I'm definitely waiting for Season 2.
