Not surprisingly on a conservative dominated site like IMDB, this brilliantly executed, intelligently written series has got a very low rating and plenty of negative reviews. Do not be fooled. This is a thought provoking and smart thriller with political undertones. Unless you are a Nazi or neo-Nazi, I don't see how you cannot like this. Yep, I know this is provocative. It is intentional. Why should I always be the one getting annoyed by the comments here?

From the beginning it got pretty small narrative, but it evolves nicely into something a lot bigger, with some surprises along the way.

Mostly great acting from both the german and norwegian actors which mixes up well.

As others are writing, the.cinematography is ranging from pretty good to excellent. Some really good shots and scenery.

Beautiful norwegian scenery from the west coast of Norway, and the actors even spoke the local dialect for that area. The story takes the viewer from Norway to Germany and the original language of all locations is kept. Good actors, good story, good tension, quite a few twists and surprises, and just a few minor annoying logical questions I thought the director ought to do something about.

But all in all a great binge story that'll keep you glued to your chair.

Some reviewers have noted that the start was great and the end so long and drawn out with nothing happening.

That is part of the genius of the film! We start off with breathtaking Norwegian scenery, fumbling local cops, and begin to understand what is happening. It helps to know what happened at Utøja in Norway in 2011 in order to understand the motivation.

We cut to boooooring German landscapes, the chaos of Berlin, and dive deeply into the inner workings (or rather, dysfuncationality) of German officials. That is what makes it so believable, and scary.

The acting is great! Ine Marie Wilmann can talk with her eyes, Christian Berkel does a very believable move from arrogant minister to human back to arrogant minister. Some of the others are a bit two-dimensional, but they fit so nicely into Norwegian and German stereotypes.

Another Scandinavian Noir gem. And unfortunately, too believable. No more, don't want to spoil. See it.

As a non-european, I have enjoyed the show. I have not judged the actors or director or any of the crew for this show.

No complains. Excellent show. Cinematography is very good.

The plot of radical right-wing groups is unusual and that got me hooked for this show. Even if Americans try to remake this show, it wont be as good as this original series.

WATCH IT !
