Sanningen

Great cast, many well known Swedish actors. The plot is initally interesting. Good characters that each bring something to the storyline. A few episodes in something happens with the whole show. In one episode everything just fell apart. The story was unfolding really quickly without any explanation. The detectives came to conclusions that had no ground. Like fast forwarding without explanation.

We stopped watching all together. It was really weird , did they change production team, directors, or did they run out of budget? I can't believe that the script and the plot was written like that.

Very disappointing and unusual.

I love Scandinavian series, and also the actress Sofia Helin, simply fantastic! And also here it even reminds me of Saga's role in 'Bron'.

If you are looking for a series of action and shooting and chases, this is not yours. Fallen focuses more on the psychological and relational development of the characters. Essential in all good detective series! And it also studies the mental trauma after a brutal loss.

The investigation of Benjamin's disappearance is very interesting and tense, it happens without haste and without pause, and the dialogues are really nice. The actors are believable and the atmosphere mysterious. Like I said it is not a series full of action and screeching tires, but it still leaves you on the edge of your seat.

The low rating of the series surprises me, and those who give it only one or 3 star don't seem fair at all!.

For me everything is very clear in this series, sometimes a look can say a lot.

This short series is very exciting, engaging and mysterious until the end, and with a phenomenal actress in the main role. I recommend it without a doubt!

While I wouldn't be quite as harsh as the other reviews as at 6th Aprin '24, I have to say that on the whole the series was very disappointing. The main character is completely unlikeable but not in a good or interesting way. The hallucinations are stupid from the start and then just annoying soon after. Most of her actions can be seen coming a mile away. The story is incomplete, setting it up for series 2 but I won't be wasting my time. I suggest that you don't waste yours. { Apparently a review must have a minimum of six hundred characters - I have no idea why but here goes: I like a number of Scandinavian authors and Scandinavian TV series but this one is well below par! )

Don't be fooled by the low scoring reviews. The series is just very very good. Well acted and well directed. Sofia Helin very unlikable you willl grow into her traumatized way of being. It's not like Saga but not too far away from her either. All support actors are pretty good and they are just playing out everyday people in unusual situations. The shots are just super high Scandinavian standards and if you like just the feel of Sweden and Denmark you will love them. If you are looking for more action or horror type of thriller series it could not be for you. Also if you prefer American fake crap acted procedural rubbish... be my guest but don't bother trying to enjoy a nice Northern European crime series.

Like 99 out of 100 Swedish productions - unbearably lousy.

It would take me an hour to go through everything, but that's an hour lost.

Incompetence elevated to an art form.

But - I'm not sure if I'm more upset with the production or the critics praising it.

I'm ... flabbergasted. For lack of a better word.

Anyway, all I can add is that (again, like all other Swedish productions) EVERYTHING that happens in this story, that is supposed to move the drama forward, is illogical, irrational och feels constructed.

Add to that that ALL characters are total clichés, and are either complete morons, or just redundant.

Take every cliche you can find in a Hollywood C movie and you will find it in here. Why?????
