Heder

Im Swedish and I find this series so bad I had to stop watch it after 5-6 episodes. Its trying something but really struggle to deliver. It seems like the show is trying to empower women but the 4 main women charaters are so dumb and incompetent at all times that is just becomes comedy. They really seem to struggle to put one foot before the other and they are supposed to be these amazing powerful women laweyrs and powerhouses?!

But they cant see any of the big neaon signs that screams them directly in the face?! They fail to overpower 1 women when they are 5 Vs 1. No one can apparently smell alcohol on their best friends breath even thos they huddle together all the time. Good cop cant see a problem with his dodgy partner having a luxury sports car.

Its not "good writing" when you, to be able to push out an entire season have to make all the main characters morons, which fail at every turn so you just can prolong the suffering.

After 4:th episode I started to root for the bad guys who was smart and managed to succeed at every turn and were 10 steps in front of the women the whole series.

No, if you actually want to see a great TV-show partly set in Sweden just watch "Bron" (the Bridge).

It had good potential but the story is very predictable and boring. Bad acting doesn't help and the story isn't very realistic at all.

I am really surprised by the quality of this set. All of Sweden's best actresses in the roles, the script is great and the direction really juicy, showing different scenes in turn. Also, the voice work makes this a thriller in my opinion, even though it's classified as a drama.

I can't understand how the Swedes can make such great series year after year, but the other Nordic countries are really weak.

In the series, praising feminism too much was a bit disturbing, but it had also been acted/written to be justified.

It's a shame that the series had to end after the third season because of the corona virus. I wish there would be a continuation of this one year.

Perhaps Sweden's most famous female actress, Alexandra Rapaport has time to participate in a lot of series, but it's only good.

I recommend!

A suspenseful story that's brutal in its depiction of violence against women. This topic, along with 4 strong female protagonists may make this show hard to swallow for those looking exclusively for stereotypical (american?) entertainment.

While the writing does have its weakspots here and there, overall production and acting is well executed, and I'm looking forward to season 2.

I envy those people that can watch Heder and not reflect on the really bad dialogue and acting. It doesn't flow at all and its never convincing, its just painful to watch. I normally like watching Swedish productions, even with small founding it most often turn out pretty good. I just watch the second season of Heder and its so predictable, the script is terrible and I hope this is the last season. Spend the production money on something else.
