Bullets

This started off pretty good for one or two episodes, and I really like these cold weather foreign language series and films, but then took a slow meandering turn for the worste. None of the characters really grabbed me although I like several of the actors and have seen them in other higher rated shows. Not much excitement or anything special happens in this show but it still made me stay, begrudgingly, till the end. If a season 2 happens I hope they narrow the plot lines and really juice up the mystery and action. I rated this a 6, watchable.

This series uses complex characters well portrayed by the actors to carefully build suspense and tension. It's not a simplistic cops and baddies narrative. Well worth the journey with them.

The show has quite an interesting plot with the usual characteristics of Nordic Noir shows, dark mood, gloomy weather, dark atmosphere, political issues and detectives with a disturbing and complicated past. Personally I liked it. Perhaps it is not as great as "The bridge", "Bordertown", "Deadwind" and "The Valhalla murders" but definitely worth watching.

... the number if flaws and inconsistencies, specifically in the last two episodes, was disappointing. By the way: Russians talk Russian with each other.

Maybe I was spoiled by watching All The Sins, another Finnish series which was really well done, but this is too plodding, full of plotholes and unresolved tracks. The whole thing could have been done in 90 minutes instead of ten episodes.
