Cold Courage

Seems a cheap move filming in the dark so much. When I have to change the settings on my tv just to see it, that's lame. Plus the story is ludicrous, totally far fetched. The phone scene was silly, the game in the bar was dumb, the fact that the detective keeps meeting this lunatic randomly makes no sense and please give it up with the same old political shows. Also-this is London?? If that's true it must be filmed in one neighborhood. Weird show and I wish I hadn't subscribed to AMC just to see this "British crime thriller" which is anything but.

Wasn't impressed with the beginning/opening of the mini-series and stopped watching halfway the 1st episode. Four weeks later, decided to start watching it again from the beginning and persevere and binged right through to the end. It is not too bad and not very good either ... just okay, and I have only three comments: (1) John Simms is completely miscast here (2) they made the police look like fools ... not doing anything! (3) the writers doesn't really seem to know how to end the story ... made it such a way like as if there is going to be a series two? Give me a break :)

Kind of a british drama where they have tried to give a scandi-noir feel to it. For the most part, it works. Quite enjoyed it and hope they do a season 2. If you enjoy one of the lead actresses, Phila Viitala, you should also check out Karppi/Deadwind.

... not yet sure about this series... going to take another season to maybe come to a firmer conclusion... ending of this first season was a bit of a letdown after all the buildup... acting was fine.. cameras at times lingering a bit too long, placing undue stress on facial expressions that came off sometimes as odd... nothing though that couldn't be worked out... looking forward to S2.

I lived in Finland for a while, so it got 6 stars instead of 5 just because of the scenes in Finland and the bursts of language in Finnish and Swedish.

The part of London that is the backdrop to the series is one of a poorer area that is partially becoming gentrified, although this is not the theme of the political campaign portrayed which attempts to show a sub-Farage figure whipping up racial tension to try to win a by-election. A shadowy group of justice warriors tries to stop him, along the way performing other good deeds whose resolution coincidentally ties into the main plot, as we see.

It's not a believable scenario by any means and nor are some of the plot devices or the actions and motivations of some of the main characters.

The producers clearly hoped for a second series being commissioned as there are at least four major cliffhangers in the final episode.

It's a series that you can just watch without much concentration. Will I bother with the second series? Unlikely if a vaccine against Corona has been found and we can go out again.
