Tabula Rasa

I can easily say this series is one of the best I have seen. Initially you may find it little slow moving but last two or three episodes will shockingly surprise you. Have little bit patience and continue watching this. The series will end much better than your expectations.

To be fair, movies which incorporate (seemingly endless) time jumps could sometimes not only be hard to follow but structurally deficient as well. Thankfully, "Tabula Rasa" ("Blind Slate") had all their ducks in a row. Obviously, a ton of plotting went into making this mystery series, As Nordic Noir goes (if it truly fits into that category), "Tabula Rasa" sits head and shoulders above similar titles, fitting right up there with other excellent series like"Bordertown," "Depart Q", etc. Cinematography was to die for as was the general acting. Some reviewers complained about pacing issues. I didn't mind the long drags, though. That seems to be part and parcel of Nordic Noir anyway, you know, allowing the viewer enough time to absorb the lush scenery, as it were.

Started out 'okay', but by episode 4 had some awesome twists and turns that made the show better than expected. Excellent characters... Loved Vronsky. Had me hooked, the sort of show that by the second to last episode you start to panic about what to watch next.

Only problem?..the high speed finishing off in episode nine...real shame.

A thriller with the sort of plot twist that means its not the sort of show you could watch through twice , still..one of the more worthy offerings on Netflix.

Have never written a review before but this show deserves to be watched! It's a slow burner yes, but what a pay off in the end. Worth the viewing time. If you have watched a lot of horror/thriller/mystery you will appreciate it. The pyro guy is fun to watch along with the other 'nuts' of the asylum ward. Everyone plays their part well.

This is a beautiful, well made thriller that is not capable of being appreciated by the average minded.
