I dina händer

The series is clearly written by someone with no real understanding beyond what they've read in the news. Like many other Swedish series and films, it feels more like theater than cinema. Most actors seem to be reading from cue cards behind the camera, indicating what emotions to display. The result is an empty, plastic, and overacted production. I would rate it 4/10 and wouldn't recommend it unless you're already a fan of Swedish productions. This is my first IMDb review in many years, which says something about how I felt about this series.

P. S. Someone said it was similar to End of Watch. I think that person should watch End of Watch again. That is a well-acted and well-written film.

I thoroughly enjoyed this from beginning to end. It's very well done about 2 young friends who unfortunately get caught up in the wrong people and environment which will ultimately not end well... but you'll have to see how.

This director is pretty brilliant. Everything is in your face and personal. The care of characters kind of questions if this is a real story. The distortion of law enforcement has a bit of sentiment but seems like a job at the end of the day. While everyone care no one does.

I love the show's direction, cinematography. It is up my alley in taste if you are someone that like movies like End of Watch and shows like The Wire.

The cameras have very interesting angles. Sometimes you get a shoulder cam while other times steady. The dynamic affects the way you feel throughout. I thought that was interesting.

Overall, to keep short this is a good 7.8 with a magnetic intensity.

Regardless whatever political view you may have, you will likely agree that this series describe the current gang violence problem in Sweden painfully well. Young kids who are trapped in suburbs and sucked into the gangs, either because they don't see anything else, or that they are simply too afraid to say stay out. A law enforcement system, that tries to nail down the rotten apples who use young kids for the dirty work, but too often fails. Fiction, yes indeed. But some parts are painfully real. What the series does best is that it helps the watcher to realise that 1) the bad guys don't have any specific skin color and 2) there is no quick fix.

Really?! A single mom with three kids and the son is wearing high end clothes. I don't think so!

And absolutely not every kid in these areas are wearing Boss, Adidas, Nike and others!

The story is weird and all clips from the past till present is confusing when it goes back and forth with no difference in light or colour.

I was very hopeful in the beginning but the story writer has not that many clues about what it's like in the real suburbia, Stockholm.

Then, I must say that it's very nicely filmed so you can't really tell exactly where in Stockholm it is supposed to happened.

Please do better research next time. Thank you!
