Kapningen

Some familiar faces but that doesn't save this from disappointing. Adam Lundgren (The Restaurant), Jonas Karlsson (Beck). Ana Gil de Melo Nascimento (Jordskott).

It starts of ok, but it long and drawn out and at the end I hadn't much of an idea as to why the plane was hijacked. The pilot was either acting badly or reflecting how somebody in that situation would react.

Ana Gil de Melo Nascimento I found very poor.

Not much of it made any sense.

When a Nordic Airlines flight to the USA is hijacked, a team of Swedish investigators must race against time to unmask the mysterious hijackers before they bring the airplane down or the US military shoot it out of the sky.

Over all the story has potentials, but is then somehow shifted back in forth with a timeline shift. The actors are over all known, and I have seen them in other movies, series, but in this case, the show's anticipation is not met.

A plane is Hijacked. On the outside it's a A330, in the cockpit it looks like a 4 motor Boeng 747 with sticks, and in the ADSB pings, it reports as an A320. The interior is of an A330, but somehow it changes. Airbus have joystick sticks, Boeng has sticks from floor with a steering wheel.

6 episodes of 45 minutes are slow and very dramatical, with not much action, and I almost quit every episode.

When the crew goes down to the baggage room, the inside looks to be of an A380 or B747, as the higt of the ceiling is not that great for Airbus aircrafts.

This was a series that made you use your brain, which I like. It was complicated, running in two different years with flashbacks to 2014 that explained some of the events happening in the present day.

There was one weakness. I guessed who the hijack baddie was in the first episode and it turned out I was right. However, these actions were set against those of the Swedish secret services who'd behaved just as disgracefully and had engendered the events of the present.

The action was fast paced and the acting was competent. It helped that this was a spin off from STKHM Requiem, so we knew the characters.

I definitely recommend this.

This is very slow. After the first couple of episodes, I was ready to give up, but I was hoping it would find some pace - unfortunately it doesn't. I only stayed with it since I like anything with Jonas Karlsson.

Feels like they are trying to use the popularity of STHLM Requiem to segway into a genre they don't master. It doesn't work for me.

Also, casting Jeroen Van der Ven as an American is just ridiculous. His American accent isn't quite good enough. Surely, there are enough American actors around for that not to be necessary?

Jonas Karlsson doesn't disappoint but he can't save this one. Glad this is over.

Great acting by an incredible cast.

Interesting and well told story with a few well thought out plot twists. I liked the slow pace in suspense.

The score is very nice and the whole experience was well worth my time. Happy I found this little gem.

Then imagery is great and every character is very believable. Even the story is really convincing despite the very complicated and elaborate plot.

It was quite different from what I expected so maybe the posters and actually maybe even the title could have been done better.

Watch this. And make your own review. I don't understand the bad reviews.
