Händelser vid vatten

I really liked this series, so much so that I already miss it. It is written and told in a very fascinating way, it left me wanting more. It is the atmosphere of the 70s and 90s, the characters, the culture and traditions in small regions in Sweden, even the Sami!, the landscapes, the peace during chaos and the music!

I found the community of Petrus really interesting and most intriguing. A groep of people living in a self-sufficient way in the middle of the forest, where many residents of the area consider a sect, but it is not. The description of this commune that wants to live in contact with nature but marked by a strict hierarchical structure, is one of the most interesting elements of the series.

While the plot focuses on the investigation due to a tragic event, Blackwater progressively consolidates itself as a Nordic and atypical noir that seeks a different type of narration. And it is true some scenes are slow, but it didn't bother me, on the contrary, it gives more visual power and tension to the story. Also the different timelines makes the series playful and provides more depth.

The acting is of a high level and the casting is perfect! I also found the plot really rough and strong, disturbing at times and some scenes are quite graphic and unpleasant, dirty and stinky. You can almost smell them from the couch.

In short, this series is unique, authentic and realistic and you can't miss if you like noir Nordics.
