Another Scandi by numbers

Wallander, The Bridge, The Killing, Borgen. Scandinavia has given us some excellent drama series. Sadly, however, a slew of rubbish shows has followed in their wake. This one is typical. Predictable, under produced, under scripted with two dimensional stereotypes. Motivations, actions and scripts have huge gaps. Conversations which would have been had are simply not there. Disappointed.

Shocking, disturbing ... but perhaps not that memorable

The story is well conceived and well acted. At times, it is both grim and hard-hitting.

Fiction aside, the viewer may even be prompted to pause and consider the real girls who choose this risky way out of a dead-end life.

If those aspects came across well, then there were also some misgivings. As a theme, sex-trafficking, drugs and violence has been done to death in recent years, so it would take something very special to stand out from the crowd. This didn't quite hit those heights.

It should also be pointed out - and I've seen others mention it too - that the dialogue is frequently too abrupt to be realistic. - 7.7/10.

Along with the good Scandinavian police procedurals/noir, there is some total junk like this

Firstly the user that gave it tens stars has one review in their IMDB history, meaning they are probably in some way affiliated with this production. I'l keep it short: I'm a fan of Scandinavian noir police procedurals. But at this point a fair LOT of total garbage is being made in this genre and this is a perfect example. The acting is just unbelievably bad. so is the script dialogue and plot. Worst of all it deploys the same tropes and spot cliches that are becoming utterly tedious in the genre: Immigrant victim? Check. Lots of didactic moralizing? check. Ending plot twist to wrap everything in a bow, but is insulting to intelligence of audience? Check.

Ignore the bad reviews

Watch, enjoy, think.

If you want to be 'wowed' by a quick fix, move on. Thought the Scandinavian series had got stuck in a rut, this proved me wrong.
