Review by laduqesa

I wasn't hoping for too much here, a teen drama of twenty-five minute episodes. I've been disappointed too often in the past. But this offering was different. The acting was good, the plot was (mostly) believable, the tension ratcheted up at the right moments. The series was downright creepy at times and certainly scary. That means that the viewer invested something in the strong cast of characters.

Clearly there were inconsistencies and actions that weren't true to life but in the main this was a good portrait of life in backwoods Denmark, far from the sophistication of Copenhagen. At least they had a village bobby unlike similar small places in the UK despite his utter uselessness. And that's what forced the teens to do their own investigation. Even the city cops when they were called in were hopeless.

The ending of the last episode sewed things up, but I was frustrated that Lasse didn't get his comeuppance. And there's clearly a second season on the way. I'll be watching it.

Edit: There are no spoilers here. Stop flagging this up for no reason.
