Hamilton

In itself, this is not a bad series: the acting was good, locations interesting and good camerawork. However - and this may be me - the last episode was a disappointment in that I cannot make any sense of the actual storyline.

Just watched all 8(?) episodes and whilst I must admit that I for some strange reason wanted to see how it all ended up, I can just say what a far fetched and poor plot. Such a waste of money. Maybe the writers wanted to get Hamilton a bit more "Bourne"? Anyhow this is nothing but poor quality action. Poor plot, poor script and mostly poor acting. Nothing to do with the original books.

For most of you who do not speak Swedish and expect an American action movie serie you might be disappointed if some way or another. The story is great as well as the acting. I'm a big critic when it comes to movies and TV Shows but I found Hamilton extremely entertaining and very well made. I myself have a hard time liking movies in languages I can't understand, so I get you if this is an set back. But I encourage you to sit down, relax and enjoy this. Wishing you all a good time!

Even in the topsy-turvy of thrillers dealing with terrorism, cyberattacks. Betrayal and individualistic heroes, it is often difficult to expect something fresh or wow - or then it is implemented at the expense of logic and realism. In this sense, Hamilton is "average", still with some twists and turns, but generally in the "ploughed furrow" of similar series. The performances are pleasant, with some actors performing in many Swedish productions, but the are characters not providing much complement, and their background is rather uninteresting (refers mostly to female characters). To my surprise, the Series includes 2 of my countrymen in the 1st grade supporting cast - Reimo Sagor and Rein Oja, both well known film/series actors here.

Well, the Scandinavians have set the bar high and Hamilton is definitely no Innan vi dör or Springfloden, but it excels many e.g. US series. Thus, do not exert too much criticism :)

PS Season 2 is again a kind of "poor man´s" Bond or Mission Impossible series... Its creators attempt to streamline the plots as much as possible, but as Sweden is no "hawk" in the global secret agent arena, the outcomes are too trivial and "arid", and the amount of predictabilities and cliches is almost too much.

Hamilton had the potential to be an asskicking nametaking punch in the face king of series. Instead it has become nothing more than a watered down continuation of swedish cop series. If you seen Wallander or Beck, you basically seen hamilton already.

It does not introduce anything new, it does not even work on the great storyteller jan guillou's very awesome characteristics.

So far, after 3 episodes it is boring, it is on the verge of being more interesting than playing on my cellphone.

I would not recomend this to anyone except maybe those that can not sleep because this is as boring as it gets.
