Quand revient le calme

I like the fact that the characters were developed before and after the catalyst event. For those who say "it's too slow", I'd like to ask "What were you looking for? Car chases and crime solved in 1 episode?" This is NOT that sort of show. Less crime show than character-driven drama. I really enjoyed it.

A danish crime/drama centering around a presumed terror attack in Copenhagen, this drama clearly lends inspiration from the actual attacks in Paris on Nov 13 2015 and in Norway on July 22 2011. Still, it is very relevant as it maintains its significance while interpreting the effects of the attack on the people to a contemporary Danish point of view. Most of the series focuses on the different characters with relevance to the actual terror attack (victims, perpetrators and relatives). The drama is well told, even though some of the episodes might be a little too stretched out. Still, this is some of the best contemporary crime/drama I've seen from Denmark in a while, and it's a solid 9.5/10.

A lot of reviewers say the characters are hard to empathise with, but I wonder if they watched the whole series.

The show isn't about hitting plot points, it ACTUALLY goes deeper into the complexity of the human condition, especially in the face of tragedy. It was superbly crafted story telling and the actors were incredible. Even those playing minor roles were super engaging.

This is definitely a show for people who aren't into being spoon fed as an audience. You do have to investigate yourself, open your mind, and watch the transformation of these characters, and sometimes sit with the discomfort as they work it out.

Watch it 100% It's pretty damn good.

Coming from the UK we have suffered from some terrible attacks Manchester bombing, the 2012 London bombings. And several others going back to the IRA in the 1970's.

This show we see how a terrorist attack on a restaurant affects the family members of several people who are killed in the attack. We see how the perpetrators plan their attack and the buildup to how they ended up in the restaurant at the wrong time.

Beautifully written and extremely well acted I really can't recommend this show highly enough, ultimately what this show goes on to prove is that horrific terrorist attacks solve nothing only end the lives of innocent people with so much to live for. 9/10.

As an avid viewer of European drama I thought this was a clever story. I thought the way that everyone's story intersected was a great concept. The standard of acting was also very high.
