Gidseltagningen

I can only think of one word to describe this show. Intense. The show was believable. There were errors made on both sides. It wasn't the perfect solution to a bad situation. There was no pushing of political agenda. No single hero. Just pure entertainment. So refreshing. Highly recommend it.

This is a great series. S1 was excellent and S2 even better IMHO.

Action aplenty, solid acting and an intriguing plot full of twists. Always nice to have fallible heroes.

The only annoyance are the love struck flashbacks. 🙄

Definitely worth binging!!

I'm hearing impaired and need captions in English, my native language, as well as captions that translate foreign languages. Most dialogue is in Danish, so I get captions. But some of the most dramatic dialogue is muttered or quickly spoken in accented English, with no ability to turn on captions in PBS "Masterpiece." C'mon folks, do better and make this accessible!

Now to the show itself. The first episode is intense and traumatic. Try the second episode, and you'll be rewarded with a suspenseful drama with unpredictable plot, well-written dialogue, terrific acting and character development.

Watched it on BBC iPlayer, saw the whole season in two days. Love Danish tv shows but this is an exception, full of curiosity & compassion! Well done to all the actors.

Whilst I enjoyed season one of "Beneath the surface". But it was a bit slow and predictable. Season two on the other hand feels like a Danish version of Die Hard! It,s pretty much non stop action from the word go when a group of Syrian terrorists overtake a Danish car ferry. With our hero from season one just making it on board. Yes I know totally implausible but if you can put that aside and forget the plot holes, you have a really entertaining edge of the seat thriller. Not so much beneath the surface but drama on water! 9/10
