Post mortem: Personne ne meurt à Skarnes

This story is interesting, original approach about something near to vampirism, but inherited from mother. It worths watching because is a short series and will not get your time so much.

Nowadays if any producer wanna make his vampire series or movies stand out from the crowd, he really needa think out of the box with something we audiences've never thought of. Examples like The String, From Dusk til Dawn series (both the movie and TV) and the recent Blood Red Sky. Without further ado, Post Mortem is certainly a good example of the genre: a funeral agency in debt and a not-so-blood-sucking vampire. To make it straight to you, it don't even think she is a vampire at all. She is more like a poor victim of bloodthirsty tackling her ordeal.

First thing first, any sci-fi element in the series has been carefully removed so that it wont be another sort of sci-fi V-War. The main actress has been carefully chosen so that she doesnt look like another eyecatching Vampiria. In fact she gives me an impression of a neighbouring girl n her acting is simply flawless. Look at her facial expression and body language as an blood-addict!!! The whole story is thus framed into the interaction of the girl and her declining family business of funeral agency. A funeral agency which is about to go bankruptcy, ah, kinda new inspiring idea.

What comes next is the dark humour that we can see in every episode. For humour it means its not for everyone coz we could have very different cultural background. To me Nordic noir is something not seen everyday. So. I buy it for sure!

Scandinavian dark humour could be fun, as long as you could keep up with the pace...... which is the rub. But we ve got choices.

This series would be your cup of tea/coffee if u r a vampire genre fan n u r dying for something different. But here is the catch: every element is minimalistic in the series. If the first 2 episodes can't impress u or make u smile once or twice, then u should better knock it off.

Wonderful show with a cast that handles the dark storyline with confidence and an easy going charm. The four leads nail their roles perfectly and capture the tone of the show perfectly. Hopefully this will be the first season of many.

This is a very competent collection of eight episodes relating the story of a young adult female whose untimely death at the hands of an as-yet-unknown assailant proves to be anything but usual. Subplot lines were evenly distributed among secondary and tertiary characters. Some slapstick comedy is sprinkled in to liven the mood.

I genuinely expected for the series to go stale after only the first two or three episodes; after all, there's only so much that can be done with the zombie theme without hordes of the undead consuming fleeing pockets of the human population. If it's not all action than it had better be one part action-drama, two-parts special effects! This novel combination works too, but it calls for a bit more time investment. Trust me, the payoff is well worth the wait. And despite the thriller branding, it's basically a mystery comedy-drama.

I loved it. Is it super innovative? No. Was it kind of predictabe? Yes. Is that a bad thing? Not at all. This show's concept has been done before, but this show tried to perfect it and it delivered something lovely.

The comedy side of it is subtle. It doesn't make you laugh out loud, but the series doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a different kind of humor from the over-the-top kind of humor that American shows can have.

I liked the pacing. Finally a show that's not flashing guns and explosions and twists and drama every 5 minutes. It wasn't slow either, plenty of progress every episode.

And the show even had many likable characters.

Although I'm really thankful that it didn't end on a horrible cliffhanger, I'm really hoping it gets to continue in a second season.
