[9.5] Does an 8-episode do it justice?

An amazing series where the subject, screenplay, plots and acting are so intense, gripping and well-done that they curl around your chest and throat, making you choke and gasping for air...

(++) Outstanding charismatic play and acting by all the cast, especially by Pervin (best of all), Husam, Sulle, Kerima and Lisha. All of them did a memorable job with amazing acting and gripping facial expressions. Also, the sisters' parents acted so naturally that they deserve real recognition as well.
(+) Superb and deep screenplay with enormous twists and turns, depicted near perfectly.
(+) Unbelievable final episode with jaw-dropping events and happenings.

A contemporary matter amazingly brought to the screen and a huge effort put into it by the creative team of writers and producers.

Definitely deserves at least a season 2 with around 10-12 episodes.

Great watch!!

Great watch. The series talks about the issue of youth radicalization, in this case by ISIS, in Europe which is often swept under the rug out of fear of being called "bigot".

The series highlights how the propaganda is used on the impressionable, emotional and sensitive minds of the high-school and college youngsters and make them believe things that don't exist. While some realize their mistake, when it is often late, others just never realize it.

The execution is quite good. Great watch!

This show really delivered!!

Was not expecting this!! The most intense drama I have seen since Breaking Bad. The last episode literally had me out of breath. This is a Swedish show but you can watch it on Netflix if you put it on an English-speaking setting. Really good story, spellbinding, and also has a lot of suspense. Well acted and delivers on every level.

Almost perfect thriller/drama

This production is one of the best thriller/drama series I've seen from Sweden.

Perfect pace, story, cutting and script.

The only negative I can say is that they could do a better job with the soundtrack.

It can easily be watched by an international audience and I'm really surprised about the quality that is up there with much larger Hollywood productions.

Kudos to everyone who participated in Kalifat.

Great Swedish series

Definitely the best Swedish series I've seen (I live in Sweden) and among the best series about modern terrorism and young people's radicalization from any country. Well-acted, well-paced, nuanced, almost entirely believable.
