Stockholm Requiem

Again!! a very well done Swedish series. Great acting and story lines, also very sad all the way. Nordic series are my favorite now, ..the best by far!! America eat your heart out!! Avoid it if you are only a fan of comedy and good feeling series.

I watched all ten episodes of Stockholm Requiem just over a year ago and watched them again more recently. I enjoyed the series just as much as I did the first time. Quality drama is always worth a second viewing.

Essentially consisting of five double episodes, Stockholm Requiem is a well written and directed crime drama with engrossing storylines and engaging performances by the cast, including some familiar faces from The Bridge, The Killing and Borgen amongst others. I loved the theme music too.

Season Two of Stockholm Requiem is definitely needed. Several burning questions require answers. For example, will we see Peder again? Is creepy Torbjörn ok? Will Alex ever crack a smile? On the subject of Alex, for heaven's sake it is blindingly obvious that Fredrika and Alex should be a couple - I shouted it at the screen more than once! Please make it happen.

Stockholm Requiem is a well crafted drama worth your consideration.

It should be noted that some of the reviews here are so excessively unfair in their criticism and ratings that quite frankly they are not worth paying much attention to. Being British, I watched it with English subtitles and enjoyed it, so perhaps it is weaker from the perspective of a Swedish native.

The series was well worth my time, with some interesting characters and stories that deserved more space for further development. Some of the characters struggle with psychological problems as a result of their work and/or events in their personal lives, and I thought this was portrayed reasonably realistically.

It is somewhat dark and you will not be spoon-fed happy endings, but is all the better for that.

It took a few episodes to understand the relationships, of characters. But the ambiance and theme of the writing and production overcame the hiccup. Would love to see this has another series,but that seems unlikely. Fabulous from start to finish.

Not so successful adaptation of brilliant books. Could have been done so much better, look at "innan vi dør» and other brilliant Swedish crimeshows.
