Wisting

I'm 3 episodes in and I'm very much enjoying this show. The plot is suspensefull and the characters are likable.

The acting is excellent, for the most part. Some of the dialogue seems a bit forced, especially from the periferal characters. But mostly it's good. I really like the fact that they got Carrie Ann Moss(Trinity from The Matrix) to come to Norway for this role. She is off course excellent, as always.

The dynamic between the norwegian Police Officers and the FBI agents is fun to watch and I really liked Moss' character's jab at the notion of not carrying firearms and even having to ask permission to bring them on assignments.

Really looking forward to see how this plays out!

Absorbing Nordic Noir that gets increasingly gripping. I thought the second half was as intriguing if not more so as the first half. The father/daughter dynamic was better too. I wasn't sure whether to invest in it but really glad I did.

For all of its many faults I still enjoyed this series. Why is it that most foreign series I have watched are better than any we make in the west where the emphasis is on excess, either violence, bad language or sex? The story on this was good and gripping at times. The main actor was a bit miscast and not very believable and his daughter irritating, but it was still very good over all.

Wisting, like so much else that comes out of Scandinavia by way of crime drama, is pure quality,

Its stories actually manage a decent degree of originality with an international twist that's instantly engaging and intriguing.

That said, I'm personally, no fan of politics and courtroom antics in policing stories, so I enjoyed the first five pure crime drama focused episodes, much more than the latter ones.

Acting is excellent, with an clever family dynamic, that creates degrees of tension but also moments of empathy and caring, between the veteran police officer Wisting and his journalist daughter.

Suffice to say this Norwegian gem is a must watch for fans of crime drama. 8/10.

I liked it. It felt like two seasons in one but it was tense and good crime drama. Some cliches but all in all I liked it and it was not over dramatic. Recommend it and take it for what it is. I did not have any big expectations and it surprised me in a positive way.

I really liked the character Hammer and Lina Wisting. And I thought they gave the storyline good depth.
