Pandilleros de Oslo

I don't write much reviews but after watching this show and then reading the only review, battering every aspect of the show, I felt the need to write something that is more representable and not just a hate speech because it wasn't how I wanted I to be.

Gangs of Oslo is about two blood brothers from the childhood - one growing up to be the leader of a gang, the other a cop and how their stories entangles after not ben speaking since they were 15.

The show keeps you interested in what's next and you will get surprises, good moments and twists. Cinematography is good for this kind of series and it's well built up.

Maybe the show starts a little slow in the first episode but finds a good and increasing pace throughout the show. I for one liked the acting and characters a lot and I think most of the actors solved their role/part in a great way.

Gangs of Oslo is exactly what it is supposed to be, and for me that counts a whole lot in how I review it. I hope they come up with a good s2 follow up.

This is not "Snabba Cash"(similar concept from Sweden) where you're basically on the edge of your seat every step of the way. But, if you're going to compare everything to anything you will always end up being disappointed.

I would say 8/10 but since I live in Oslo it gets an extra star:)

This Norwegian series plot reminds me a 2018 French crime drama FRERES ENNEMIS, telling the friendship between a cop and a hoodlum, childhood friends. Maybe this TV show is a remake, I don't know. Anyway, it is rather well done, many clichés, a scheme already seen many times before. I guess that in the future, we'll have Gangs of Lisbon, " " of Ouagadougou.... We already have GANGS OF LONDON. This series will maybe continue, I don't know, maybe, and if it is the case, I will watch it. Good suspense, good performances, taut.... Not bad but nothing exceptional. Nothing to be compared with the "untouchable" GOMORRA for instance.

Okay so this is a gang movie but not the kind of tough gang things we like to see. It's like some teenagers gang. The things they do, the petty fights, they all come across as some young adults in a starting of gang that don't really know what is going on or how to handle drug transports or even run a gang.

It's a pretty okay series. Don't expect so much. Just expect something basic you can enjoy. It's quite slow too so have patience.

There were some really unnecessary scenes but guess they all join to make it lengthy so yh.

Simply put, it just seems like a group of people in a gang that do not even know what to do.

Shocked by some of the poor reviews here. Did we see the same series? Make sure to not watch it dubbed, but in Norwegian with English subtitles.

It's not the super action packed type of gang series, it's more of a slow burn with focus on the characters and the relations between them. It gets better with every episode. Great acting, and very interesting to see a series from the east side of Oslo. Loved it!

I will recommend this series to everyone I know. Amazing performances by the actors, interesting plot and you end up even caring for the bad guys in this series. I like that the series shows they are compassionate people too, even if they commit terrible crimes.

Just finished watching the series, and cannot understand the negative reviews here, they have clearly not watched the show.

With only 6 episodes, and the show coming to a satisfying end, this is worth your time.

Leading actors are good, I also really like the camera techniques used, even though I am not much for drone footage, as that is not our normal point of view.

It can be quite intense, the plot is only over a short time period, illustrates how cynical criminal gangs need to be, and how restricted police might be under these circumstances. Some say it is a Norwegian "the wire" while I felt it was a bit like "The Departed" It is not the very best show I have watched, so it might have gotten an extra point to compensate for the other uninformed reviews here.
