Cold Courage

... not yet sure about this series... going to take another season to maybe come to a firmer conclusion... ending of this first season was a bit of a letdown after all the buildup... acting was fine.. cameras at times lingering a bit too long, placing undue stress on facial expressions that came off sometimes as odd... nothing though that couldn't be worked out... looking forward to S2.

Seems a cheap move filming in the dark so much. When I have to change the settings on my tv just to see it, that's lame. Plus the story is ludicrous, totally far fetched. The phone scene was silly, the game in the bar was dumb, the fact that the detective keeps meeting this lunatic randomly makes no sense and please give it up with the same old political shows. Also-this is London?? If that's true it must be filmed in one neighborhood. Weird show and I wish I hadn't subscribed to AMC just to see this "British crime thriller" which is anything but.

I found this to be a very difficult watch, i didn't like any of the cast at all and there were just so many plot holes and questions. I couldn't stand Lia at all, one of the most annoying characters in a tv show in a very long time.

Story line was excellent but the acting didn't do it justice, Soffia Pekkari as not a good choice for the roll she may have Shakspearine credentials but came across as weak and could not hold the scene. So many comments in the movie about how attractive she was but was far to old for the role, many scenes where she just seams to freeze. The rest of the cast were good but it seem to lack a sense of direction for me, as if they didn't know when to speak or what to say. I will leave it up to you but personally I wouldn't waste my time. the things you watch during Covid 19.

Kind of a british drama where they have tried to give a scandi-noir feel to it. For the most part, it works. Quite enjoyed it and hope they do a season 2. If you enjoy one of the lead actresses, Phila Viitala, you should also check out Karppi/Deadwind.
