“Iu0026#39;m not at all too keen on watch TV-series, but more into film. Occasionally I find time to check out a new one, and especially I have been interested in the Nordic-noir genre which have been given quite a lot of acclaim the latter years. This Norwegian gangster-crime series follows up this trend. Made in Norway with many connections to both Sweden and Denmark.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is really an edge-of-the-seat-thriller series, and way more than expected. I think this TV-series manages to engage me so much that Iu0026#39;ve been looking more and more forward to each episode, and really hate when itu0026#39;s all over after the 6th episode. Proper use of cliffhangers ensure that, but also that the persons are of interest. I find that thereu0026#39;s many interesting persons, e.g. from different sides and branches of the police forces, as well as you really get to know some of the persons on a more personal level.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGreat actors all over, even the two boys are doing a great job. Quite professionally and sincere. What Ifind very pleasing is that the series seems very realistic. Names of places, locations as well as the use of buildings are all very tidy done. Even the news are made with real well-known news presenters, and thereu0026#39;s simply nothing which loses the credibility. Iu0026#39;ve so many times been annoyed with facts that are plainly stupid in TV-series, you know, like name of countries not existing in the real world and so on. Here itu0026#39;s simply impossible to arrest any fact from Norway, Sweden or Denmark. Itu0026#39;s all very real and totally believable. The only thing which can be arrested for not being a fact, is the name of the biker Club (6u0026#39;ers with the emblem 666), which isnu0026#39;t any real club. However, their club location is real of another existing bikers club. I find that quite impressive. A real done job!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe series is well written, and though I in the start found the opening plot hard to believe, it started off a tension which is very suitable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOnce you get hitched, you wonu0026#39;t be able to stop watching! You canu0026#39;t really expect more from a TV-series. One of the best Iu0026#39;ve seen for years, and just as good as the best of the British ones.”
