Phenomenally well done. Actors are beliavable, the score helps build the drams and anguish lead character feels. Being Swedish I remember this robbery well, it was quite the story in the media and kind of the end of the Yugoslavian mafia running Stockholms underworld.
WHY DOES A REVIEW HAVE TO BE 600 WORDS, EPISODE 1 WAS BETTER THAN EPISODE 2 WHICH WAS WORSE THAN EPISODE 4 BUT BETTTER THAN EPIOSDE7 WHICH IN TURN WAS SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN EPISODE 3, BUT EPISODE 5 WAS BETTER THAN EPISODE 2 AND EPISODE 8 WAS TO PLACEMENT OVER 2. WHICH EPISODE WAS BEST ACCORDING TO ME - EIGHT HUNDRED CHARACTERS...

As a big fan of "Moneyheist" (La Casa...) I kind of like this even more as it nots so polished.
Every star in money heist were photo-esque, stars or selected to be great cover material for magazines.
Here we have more or less normal people, behaving as people do. They were not perfect, and we got to know them as how they live and... work.
The acting from our main stars are amazing, and as a Swede I think the script and dialogue were spot on.
Scenery and locations were as it is, imperfect too. The location wasnt a polished office building, but more as a industry building - as it was in reality. Kudos to details!
Having it as a mini-serie, fantastic - if this had been a hollywood production with action and dramatized events with no back-story. No thanks.
This was simply put great!

Wow, this series simply blew me away! I was hooked from the first episode. The mix of action, suspense, and the emotional depth of the characters is just incredible. What really stood out was how the story isn't just about a robbery; it dives into loyalty, desperation, and the choices people make when backed into a corner. Every twist kept me guessing, and the acting was so raw and real that I forgot I was watching a series. This is one of the best true-crime dramas I've ever seen-10/10 without a doubt!
I don't remember the last time I watched something in one breath. You won't regret spending your time on this!

I have always had a hard time watching Swedish productions as a Swede. This time, I felt like almost everything was well executed. Acting was mostly great, cast was up to the mark, script was of a high standard and the plot was, besides being predictable (obviously), really captivating. Just great.
I really think they managed to overcome the "problem" of choosing a side here. Who do I really want things to go well for? You ended up in some sort of middle ground that followed during the course of the series, which I was content with.
Something that I felt was a little off was the team of detectives, or whatever they are supposed to be called. They did not exude direct competence. Everyone but Leonie felt rather uninterested in the whole case. She had to come in as a savior in times of need a little too often, even when it came to things that felt relatively obvious. But maybe that is how it all went down, what do I know?
Overall, I really enjoyed the series. It was captivating and offered details, which I believe happened in reality, and which had not been heard of before. I think it is worth seeing for everyone, not just Swedes who have pre existing knowledge of the case.

This is a great thriller throughout. It has a wound-up tension that gets tighter as the story moves along.
The acting was first-rate and convincing. The characters were real and not the cardboard types that you sometimes find in this action-thriller genre.
There is a great build-up to the heist, and we see all the preparations taking place, and then how things never quite work out as planned.
I really appreciated that this never went into the cliché of extended car chases and crashes - and shoot-outs with lots of gunfire and explosions.
This is a first-rate, edge of your seat, thriller and suspense movie from beginning to end.
