Top Dog

Surprisingly engaging and entertaining, Top Dog was full of good acting and three-dimensional characters. If you replaced the Serbian mob with an Italian one, it almost had a Scorsese feel to it. Kudos to the entire cast, but particularly Alexej Manvelov and Josefin Asplund for the quality of their performances.

Have not read the books. But this series was interesting with very good acting. Intricate and converging story lines. A second series could very easily pick up where the first series left off. Would like to see continuation of the Swedish story and follow the characters next steps.

I like the deep plot with all of it's various agendas that merge together. There is a major plot hole and that is the almost total absence of the Police. Two civilians, one a corporate lawyer and the other an ex con. With seemingly separate agendas and from different social classes act as Detectives and find that their moral views merge, and maybe pass each other.

Watched the complete season in 3 nights. Loved the actors, the scenes and the mingle of the upperground with the underground. Also the continous internal battle of Teddy of being a good guy or a bad guy. Maybe a season 2?

Loved both seasons - in fact they improved as the plot unfolded. On a par with The Bridge and The Killing in my view and the casting, script, acting and direction were all of a high standard. It would be nice to think that there's a third season on the slate as the ending of season 2 leaves it open.

Good pace throughout with no pointless fillers or holes and a very interesting storyline with some interesting side plots and personal intrigues. Thankfully not festooned with time-hopping which seems to be very much de rigueur these days. The sub- titling was well done too and this can be a problem with some of the Scandi films and series.

Best binge watched but I heartily recommend it.
