Fred til lands

When a hoodlum torments a community, a group of residents decide to kill him. But can they sink their own differences, arrange the murder, and live with themselves afterwards? It sounds like a good premise for a drama, but the problem with 'Deliver Us' is that it's all so obviously contrived: every participant has their own secrets, motives, and points of conflict with the other; at times it feels like an Agatha Christie plot, albeit one revealed in advance of the killing. I think the real problem here is the length; there's actually a good feature film probably buried in this plot, but not really eight hours of drama.

Where did they get that Kasper actor 🤔 Some of the acting is poor. But idea is good I am on episode 5 hanging in to see what happens. There are better world dramas out there and I have watched quite a few so I rate this Average.

I did like it very much, because I am a fan of the psicological thriller genre. The negatives for me: some loose ends and unlogical decisions. Is a second season on the make?

The first episode seems a bit boring. But ones you hooked, it's getting more interesting every minute. I expected some sort of Rigoletto kind of end, but it is much better. In short, it good and I like it!

The benchmark is catchy and the reasons-why are well depicted from the beginning, but then the pace somewhat slackens and the number of by-lines and characters becomes to large, without providing any additional value to the course of events (e.g. As to Milad). But there are interesting twists and turns, the viewers can ponder on and over different ideas, and the very final scenes might hint that Season 2 will come as well.

But the performances are good (I like Lene Maria Christensen as Bibi and Morten Hee Andersen as Mike most) and unlike in most Danish series, it includes actors not constantly visible in thriller series.

Fred til lands is more than okay if you are familiar with Danish society and thinking, but I can hardly envisage any wider breakthrough here, even in e.g. Most parts of Europe.

And last but not least - the title. Both in Danish and English, it is confusing and uninviting.
