Hammarvik : Amori e altri omicidi

... started watching thinking this was going to be one of the many worthwhile Scandinavian-crime-dramas have come across recently ... turns out more-clumsy-soap-opera than anything else ... couldn't get far in at all ... had to quit ... a first for Swedish-TV-dramas.

This show is highly entertaining but only because there's just enough space between the scenes to ad-lib each episode. Bad actors delivering non believable characters. And the music is so out of place it just adds to the whole "what-the-hell-am-I-watching". Can how ever be used as a drinking game if you have a bit imagination.

Some of the actors are good and it did have potential...

But when you produce and write a series please make it believable. Policethat are too young to be where they are, storielines that simply are pathetic, and stuff happening that does not make any sence what so ever. Failure in script with what's actually happening in many scenes. It's actually quite embarrassing and painful to watch.

Yes it's a tv-series and not reality of course, but it's a tv series about life, crime and people.

Camilla Läckberg knows better but she totally lost her magic since she must have given green light on all the episode scripts. Swedish television can be so much better then this. Do not waste your time, better off to be cancelled.

A series that have many similarities with the old time soap opera like Vita lögner. But somewhat better since the plot have a somewhat more focused theme (a murder).

The acting is ok but subpar from a singer from Eurovision acting a plumber in the series and he really needs to do some acting preparation before he does a scene. Also an actress returning from the states in the show always looks like she is acting. When this two are in same scene it is nearly comical and the only thing you think about is that they are acting. I hope both can do better than this.

I never write reviews, but I have to with this series.. I think it's one of the worst shows I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot - good and bad. Most of the actors are mediocre, some are good, some plain awful. You know when you eat something sour and it starts hurting in your jaw? Well, this show will give you that many times over. The worst part? I watched 2 seasons, and that's just embarrassing.. So, if you think you are in for some good, Swedish crime: Look further- this ain't it! (I love Swedish crimeseries, BTW.)
