    death, stocks and funny lines

    Raid is a Finish masterpiece of crime movies and series. death and backstabbing has never been this funny. Lohdanter makes his jobs best part as tubby detective Jansson and Kai Lehtinen as stoned face hitman RAID.

    Without a doubt the best finnish TV show ever.

    Kai Lehtinen is amazing in the part of Raid. Raid is a hitman with morals. Now he has come back to Finland after many years to investigate the strange circumstances surrounding the suicide of his former loved one. The series is packed with colorful characters who are played by the best of the best finnish actors. Writer/director Piirainen has adapted the series from Nykänen's novels. I have not read the books, but I've heard that the series is even better. So, for anyone who hasn't seen it yet... if you have a chance to catch this somewhere, I warmly recommend. It's available on DVD in Finland.

    Watchable but only in bits

    This is a dark and confusing TV series from Finland. The pace drags and has the tendency to put you to sleep. The actors are morose characters and the plot is ultra confusing. Persist with it but can only be watched intermittently to avoid falling asleep.

    Maybe the best Finnish series at its time, but still only fair-good IMO.

    I was lucky to watch this series, even though not until 2019, as it definitely has some good points to it. It has a pretty good plot and storyline with many subplots and quirky character interactions which provided subtle humor throughout. The action and special effects were sort of amaturish, and maybe done intentionally to match the style and era of the times, but if not, then looked sort of lame but still worked well enough nothing was ruined by it. It ran 12 eps which seemed a little long for the actual amount of content and could easily been cut down to 10 eps and maybe even 8 eps with nothing lost. At 12 eps it still maintained my attention but tested it. Most of the main characters did their jobs well but the whole series had sort of a 70's - 80's feel to it, but with cell phones, even though in 2000 cell phones were still fairly big and bulky and not everyone had one yet and this was evident. The characters were all very well developed and also coincidentally all intertwined and related throughout the main plot and all the subplots, go figure right. It's always amazing that the guy your looking for is an old partner or ex girl friends father is seeking same info or the ex pro criminal always seems to be one step ahead of the police in solving the crimes. The body count was massive, just enough sex and relationship trip, the usual police higher ups are idiots, corrupt, or in on it, and plenty of very quirky snitches, homeless, bums, and bad guys. This could almost be a dark comedy but is really a dramedy. I rated this an 8, good, because of so much to see and understand, but just barely.

    Crime drama with finnish touches

    When I started to watch this series I was skeptical. Finnish crime drama, how could that work. Well it did, big time. First of all, the characters are truly unique. Raid, Hopo, Sanna, truck driver, porn salesman, "perse-arska"... wow! And you gotta love the lieutenant Jansson's sarcastic one-liners. Brilliant! Also, the plot is interesting enough to keep you awake. It is also nice to see Hopo's and Sanna's relationship to evolve. The neighborhood's maradona was also a funny figure. There is no doubt that Raid is the best finnish crime drama ever. Particularly, because it contains enough finnish humour to keep us all at our seats. :-)
