Seizure

I don't know what I just watched. Nothing was explained. The eels. Supernatural? I don't know. You couldn't tell. Don't waste your time on this show.

I am used to watching Scandi, French and Belgian noir and thoroughly enjoying it. I am used to disliking or failing to bond with almost all the characters, in fact I would be suspicious if there was someone I actually liked. I am used to slow starts, gradual and complex storylines, so I was prepared to forgive Seizure at first, assuming it would all fall into place eventually. But this show was excruciating. What at first appeared to be a story about an investigation into the drowning death of four young asylum seekers became a confusing supernatural introspective of the two investigating police officers who both feel guilt and responsibility for unrelated recent events. And the eels. And the water.... And the flashbacks, nightmares and pseudo reality. It was crap. The only reason I gave it two stars was because of some of the acting. I can't believe I watched it through to the end.

... this was a tough one to stick with all the way through... brought to watching by Danielsen Lie having just seen him in The Worst Person in the World where he was great... disappointed by Seizure... just so consistently-confusingly dark-cinematography, with a story to match... was hoping as it went along that it would become clearer what was happening, but it never does

... one of those films you expect-hope would become better-understood with another viewing or two.. yet you're just not at all sure you want to put in the time-effort.

From the first episode it was easy to see that this would be a pile of rubbish! Nothing made any sense. Characters appear on the scene without any context or background to let the viewers know who they are or what their role is in the series. The scenes are randomly stuck together without any continuity, so there;s no way to tell what's happening. As the series progresses, it does not get any better. The dialog is stupid, consisting of short disjointed sentences that add little to the story. There is a lot of water and flooded basements, and everything is just very dirty and grungy. By the third episode, it was time to stop watching and move on to something else. Where does rubbish series like this even come from?

Anders Baasmo saves this series, the rest of cast is unskilled... Anders Danielsen Lie did a great job in ""22 July", but his carachter in this series is portayd very similar and that is just wrong.. Police methods have not been checked by the scriptwriters. specially in episode 4 its really bad.. And all the pc stuff they put in to this didnt help the show I wanted to turn this off many times, but had to finish it.
