I am used to watching Scandi, French and Belgian noir and thoroughly enjoying it. I am used to disliking or failing to bond with almost all the characters, in fact I would be suspicious if there was someone I actually liked. I am used to slow starts, gradual and complex storylines, so I was prepared to forgive Seizure at first, assuming it would all fall into place eventually. But this show was excruciating. What at first appeared to be a story about an investigation into the drowning death of four young asylum seekers became a confusing supernatural introspective of the two investigating police officers who both feel guilt and responsibility for unrelated recent events. And the eels. And the water.... And the flashbacks, nightmares and pseudo reality. It was crap. The only reason I gave it two stars was because of some of the acting. I can't believe I watched it through to the end.
