22. juli

This series portrays in a most intelligent manner the effects and impact of the terror attack in Norway in July 2011. The choice of actors, in my opinion, has been excellent. To some they may seem amateur, perhaps because people are used to Hollywood actors' interpretation of realism. In my opinion the actors in this series appear very credible and natural, helped by a very effective and natural way of directing them. At no time was I reminded of the fact that I was watching a film. Very impressive, hats off to all involved in the production!

A heavy series that most likely will make you cry, I know I did. It's very authentic, respectful and an important series.

Maybe not top acting from everyone, but most of them do a very good job. I am well pleased with most of the people cast. I was downtown working on July 22nd and I remember it well. The scenes in the streets are very true to life. So much so, that I felt a bit choked up watching it. Only the first two epi's have been released as I am writing this, but I have great expectations and am currently not disappointed. NRK (Norwegian broadcasting) have made a lot of very good productions during the past 5- 10 yrs. "22. Juli" seems to follow suit :-)

Very well made docudrama about the attacks of Breivik in Norway in 2011. The story is told through the eyes and experiences of people that were directly and/or indirectly affected by the attacks. This approach works really well. It is hardly impossible to not feel affected yourself.

The story is told very cleanly without too much dramatic enactment or imagery. In this lies the power of this series.

Though this drama is centered around rightwing extremist ideology, it might just as well have originated from any other form of political or religious extremism. The series depicts a universal problem with extremist non-democratic beliefs and ideologies that anyone should be able to recognize in his or her own society.

This series are a a very close representation of 22. July event. It is a really touching series that involves truly emotional scenes and the actors are doing A Great job bringing the harsh reality to the viewer.
