I dina händer

Heavy series. Fantastic acting. I can't speak to how realistic it is in terms of Swedish law, which a couple other reviews have criticized. Whether or not there were mistakes there, this series is really more about the decisions people are faced with and how kids generally lack the intellect and emotional maturity to understand their choices. The acting portrayed this well in the final scenes when it was clear how the lead detective Farid reacted/felt about what had happened in court vs the witness' lack of true understanding about what he'd done.

I recommend for the acting and directing but it really is heavy.

In the gray shadows of modern Sweden, where echoes of reality softly bounce off stark walls, the series "I Dina Händer" ("In Your Hands") offers a poetic glimpse into contemporary life. This series is a masterpiece of nuance and empathy, where the music does not merely serve as a backdrop but stars prominently, with melodies that touch both heart and soul.

The acting of the young cast is particularly outstanding, bringing a mature seriousness to the portrayal of teenage complexities. Their performances are nothing short of stunning, infusing the series with depth and believability rarely seen. These young actors masterfully convey a spectrum of emotions, resonating with a nuanced understanding of human vulnerability.

Not only does the series approach modern reality with a sharp lens, but it also portrays the complexities of police work in a manner that is both thorough and honest. Each scene is carefully crafted, with the tension of investigations interwoven with the everyday realities of the officers and the people they protect.

"I Dina Händer" is more than just a series; it is a study of life and survival, love and conflict, seen through the eyes of those who mirror society. It is an artistic endeavor that challenges, moves, and ultimately enriches the viewer.

The series is clearly written by someone with no real understanding beyond what they've read in the news. Like many other Swedish series and films, it feels more like theater than cinema. Most actors seem to be reading from cue cards behind the camera, indicating what emotions to display. The result is an empty, plastic, and overacted production. I would rate it 4/10 and wouldn't recommend it unless you're already a fan of Swedish productions. This is my first IMDb review in many years, which says something about how I felt about this series.

P. S. Someone said it was similar to End of Watch. I think that person should watch End of Watch again. That is a well-acted and well-written film.

Really?! A single mom with three kids and the son is wearing high end clothes. I don't think so!

And absolutely not every kid in these areas are wearing Boss, Adidas, Nike and others!

The story is weird and all clips from the past till present is confusing when it goes back and forth with no difference in light or colour.

I was very hopeful in the beginning but the story writer has not that many clues about what it's like in the real suburbia, Stockholm.

Then, I must say that it's very nicely filmed so you can't really tell exactly where in Stockholm it is supposed to happened.

Please do better research next time. Thank you!

This series with just five episodes, its a quick watch that hits hard.

The story is told from the standpoint of two characters but it works out into a much larger social problem that is very universal. This illustrates how all over the world we are having the same issues. Young kids get involved with gangs, drugs, crime and violence. The two young friends spend a lot of time in a very rough neighborhood, and tough guys in gangs and drugs are not uncommon.

The series does not become preachy at all, but makes you as a viewer sit up and also take notice of the alienated sections of the society.

The young actors Olle and Yasir, Douglas and Billy in the series are stunning!! And Ardalan Esmaili is simply a great actor, I know him from other Nordic shows, he is the policeman Farid in the series.

The journey of this two very young men in a very dangerous world without knowing the real and rough repercussions of their actions is very intriging and exciting, and the dramatization of the scenes does not look forced to me and is very realistic. They also explored the depths of grief and anger by those left behind.

The story is simple, but the truth isn't. It is brutal, heartbreaking and really important. What happens when the power of friendship is confronted with brutal choices? And what happens when a society fails to protect its kids?

By the way I just want to get rid of the only criticism I have, some of the music doesn't wraps some of the scenes well at all. It is not always well adapted in my opinion.

The question is when children commit horrible crimes, who bears responsibility? Can a child be a monster?, and if so, how does that happen? How can we, as a society, allow it to happen?! While it can be easy to blame adults, but it is really is a much larger problem.

This series is an intense and compelling story. Full of very relevant and important problems in our society, it is tough!. It challenges viewers to confront uncomfortable truths while delivering a gripping and emotionally great series!
