But its not bad either, rating is right now 5,8 with less than 300 votings and I think its just about correct also, its an ok serie without sparkles and it will not blow you of the chair but its works , Rosenfeldt does Rosenfeldt things , he like to do stories in a story and some are good and some not that good, I think it was a clever building up and the story is a bit sloppy but its ok , acting was on the limit here and there, production was good consider its a slim budget, the weak link was the director, he did some misstakes time to time

Ending is a disaster

It felt rushed and clearly fast written , and it is what it is, tv entertainment.

This show is currently streaming for free in Australia. I only speak English so relied on subtitles. Leaving a review after noticing all previous reviews are negative.

I found the series compelling and thought the acting was exceptional. Although relying on subtitles I was picking up subtle facial expressions and mannerisms that spoke volumes and fleshed out the characters.

There are quite a few scenarios relating to both police and criminal behaviours/decisions that are unrealistic but the meat and bones of the show is the characters and the question.

Appreciated and enjoyed the ending. Would recommend anyone not from Scandinavia watch this as judging from other reviews the accents and well known actors grate on Scandinavian nerves.

I loved the first five episodes and most of the last as well. But the last ~15 minutes ruined it, there was literally no payoff to everything that was built up during the story.

There's something special about a show so competently building up to something, and then totally fumble the ending of it. I don't understand in what case this would be considered a good ending.

Besides this, the acting is great, the cast does a really good job. There's some clear inspiration from shows like True Detective, which I love. The scenery is gorgeous and the dialogue is used sparingly, which I feel fits well considering where the series is set.

The truth is, I loved the series, and I find it seriously underrated. At times, it is even sublime!, unexpected and thrilling, while at other times it's too quiet and even dull.

The strength of this story lies primarily in its intriguing characters and provocative narrative style.

I must start by highlighting the magnificent photography and the excellent actors and performances. I was particularly struck by the actor and son of Sting, Eliot Sumner who plays Kat. I still remember that face from the masterpiece series "Ripley".

The plot is violent and constantly creates the feeling that the area is extremely isolated, far removed from the rest of the world. This contributes to the atmosphere and tension of the story. Very well done!

One of the main characteristics of the village Haparanda is that it is located right on the border with Finland, and in fact, it is a town traditionally twinned with the Finnish city of Tornio. Really interesting by the way!

If you don't mind a kind of an open ending I totally recommend it!!

Cry Wolf offers a very entertaining thriller and the psychology and intriguing attitudes of the characters are wonderful and carried me to the end without problem!

More like this please!

A bit Fargo-like. Very good acting. Sometimes hilarious without wanting it to be. Definitely worth watching! Though a little far fetched from time to time, you stay interested and want to know what happens next. A score of 6 is highly underrated. Scandinavian series always have that little bit extra...
