Veronika

This is not watch worthy at all. Absolute waste of time. Exept for the main characters the acting is horrible. The filming is way too dark, background music is always gloomy. Even if it's a crime/theiller show there is no need for that.

There is nothing that hooks the viewer. I have tried to watch this two times and I can hold on to the third episode. After that I can't stand it anymore. Some of the actors are so bad and cringe worthy. I dont understand why, did they spend the whole budget on the main roles and got some extras to act or is it really bad directing?

The script is questionable, so many annoying details that would never happen irl and you don't understand what the red thread is. Not even in the third episode is it clear. I absolutely hated this show and I really wanted to love it. It has all the attributes to make a great show but unfortunately it's a train wreck.

But not in a good way.

The writing is appalling and so naive that it makes the first year film students look like professionals.

I doubt these amateurish has any idea how lame and unoriginal their work.

There is Zero dramatic talent - only dull and uninteresting scenes one after another.

And how the many so called producers weren't capable of seeing how this material was is a pure mystery.

Perhaps they were themselves inept to judge its underdeveloped storyline.

It truly pains to see these actors wandering around without any sense of direction.

The look is adequate and the overall production as well - but shame on the quality of writing and poor direction.

A complete waste of everyone's time.

How a show could take good actors and yet make the worst painfully slow and disconnected noir possible is a mystery. I tried to like this movie but it was too hard. The Director needs to rethink their technique. The dialogue was slow motion dialogue . I could not stand the character Alexandria Rapaport played. She was narcissistic. Her mental state was the only thing that mattered. She completely neglected her family. She just checked out of life. Her character made no sense. She would never have kept her job. The whole plot was unrealistic. I watched all the episodes hoping it would get better but it never did. A waste of time. I woukd not recommend this movie to anyone.

A new entry into the rapidly vast growing genre of Nordic Noir, this one set in a quaint Swedish village where a troubled police officer has visions of dead people who come to her for their unsolved murders! Sounds familiar, but Veronika has connections with the deceased, stemming from an early age when her father passed tragically, and how it all ties in with the current horrific murders.

A slow burner (really kicks in by end of episode 2) that is approached in a feature film style, allowing scenes to build and not relying on too much dialogue. Instead it shows the art in visual storytelling, piecing together the intricate puzzle, leaving a tiny trail of breadcrumbs, enough to keep one watching in unraveling the murder mystery that will hook you in to the very end.

Too slow paced and unoriginal series. When seeing a only the first few episodes of this series I got the feeling I have seen it all already sometime before. Couldn't put myself to watch it until the end. So tiresome it gets annoying. A minimum of at least six hundred characters is required to submit a review, but man... It not even worth all the typing. Three episodes in and I still have the feeling it's not going anywhere and on the other hand you already have a pretty good feeling of where the story and character development are heading towards. I'm not going to spoil anything because for die hard Scandinavian detective series this might still be worth watching.
