Seizure

Besatt started interesting and promising, but then the dreams and flashbacks began to add confusion (some remained totally unclear), and the course of events and construction of scenes became too far-fetched. Well, Oslo is not among the biggest city in the world, but the intertwining of past and present was a bit too much within a small group of people, and several supporting characters did not provide additional value to the Series. So, suddenly the final episode had to finalise stuff not properly dealt with before, becoming a hasty round-up of otherwise protracted scenes. The main cast, the 2 (Anders Baasmo Christiansen, Anders Danielsen Lie), are well performed, not talkative and pensive as Norwegians tend to be,.. But the best performance is apparently by Marius Kolbenstvedt, although his character had too little significance for the whole narration. So, Besatt is not a flop, but rather mediocre, as Norway has produced many really interesting and versatile series this century. It is not a must to see.

This was a great series to watch, typical of so many non english speaking series today. well acted and produced.

I don't know what I just watched. Nothing was explained. The eels. Supernatural? I don't know. You couldn't tell. Don't waste your time on this show.

From the first episode it was easy to see that this would be a pile of rubbish! Nothing made any sense. Characters appear on the scene without any context or background to let the viewers know who they are or what their role is in the series. The scenes are randomly stuck together without any continuity, so there;s no way to tell what's happening. As the series progresses, it does not get any better. The dialog is stupid, consisting of short disjointed sentences that add little to the story. There is a lot of water and flooded basements, and everything is just very dirty and grungy. By the third episode, it was time to stop watching and move on to something else. Where does rubbish series like this even come from?

... this was a tough one to stick with all the way through... brought to watching by Danielsen Lie having just seen him in The Worst Person in the World where he was great... disappointed by Seizure... just so consistently-confusingly dark-cinematography, with a story to match... was hoping as it went along that it would become clearer what was happening, but it never does

... one of those films you expect-hope would become better-understood with another viewing or two.. yet you're just not at all sure you want to put in the time-effort.
