Helikopterrånet

Phenomenally well done. Actors are beliavable, the score helps build the drams and anguish lead character feels. Being Swedish I remember this robbery well, it was quite the story in the media and kind of the end of the Yugoslavian mafia running Stockholms underworld.

WHY DOES A REVIEW HAVE TO BE 600 WORDS, EPISODE 1 WAS BETTER THAN EPISODE 2 WHICH WAS WORSE THAN EPISODE 4 BUT BETTTER THAN EPIOSDE7 WHICH IN TURN WAS SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN EPISODE 3, BUT EPISODE 5 WAS BETTER THAN EPISODE 2 AND EPISODE 8 WAS TO PLACEMENT OVER 2. WHICH EPISODE WAS BEST ACCORDING TO ME - EIGHT HUNDRED CHARACTERS...

Wow, this series simply blew me away! I was hooked from the first episode. The mix of action, suspense, and the emotional depth of the characters is just incredible. What really stood out was how the story isn't just about a robbery; it dives into loyalty, desperation, and the choices people make when backed into a corner. Every twist kept me guessing, and the acting was so raw and real that I forgot I was watching a series. This is one of the best true-crime dramas I've ever seen-10/10 without a doubt!

I don't remember the last time I watched something in one breath. You won't regret spending your time on this!

This series got my heart pumping and my blood pressure so sky high I nearly soiled myself by the end of episode 6. Seriously.

I've seldom watched a more perfectly casted, acted, filmed, and written series. In many such heist dramas, the buildup to the actual event is lame and predictable. Not so in 'The Helicopter Heist', with incredibly beautiful, meaningful themes of expectation, familial obligation, duty, love, and dissappointment following the major characters all the way to their anticipated jackpot. The event itself - as well as various other points throughout the series - was filled with energy building scenes dripping with dramatic irony, drawing out the tension beyond all reasonableness, making the audience sit on the literal edge of their seats wondering when certain events would transpire.

In short, I was thoroughly entertained and satisfied by this series and I highly recommend it.

The actors are really good. I usually don't like to watch Swedish shows because of their bad acting but they have evolved and they really picked out right actors for this show. I didnt like that it was so dragged out. 5 or 6 episodes would have been enough. Some scenes felt a bit too repetetive. However, what I did enjoy was the depiction of the actors' feelings and fears. It felt real. When the heist scenes went on, I really felt the tension. The camera angles, the music.. it made everything look epic.

The actors' lines felt realistic too. Not too rehersed. You could really feel and see how their personalities changed from first to last episode. They became robbers. Criminals. They portrayed that flawlessly.

This is a great thriller throughout. It has a wound-up tension that gets tighter as the story moves along.

The acting was first-rate and convincing. The characters were real and not the cardboard types that you sometimes find in this action-thriller genre.

There is a great build-up to the heist, and we see all the preparations taking place, and then how things never quite work out as planned.

I really appreciated that this never went into the cliché of extended car chases and crashes - and shoot-outs with lots of gunfire and explosions.

This is a first-rate, edge of your seat, thriller and suspense movie from beginning to end.
