Greyzone

I finished the third season of Borgen and then decided to watch this. I'm glad I did because it's superb. The plot, acting and cinematography are all top notch. It had me on the edge of my seat many times. I very highly recommend this show to anyone who likes tense thrillers with depth to them.

On a side note, I think Ardalan Esmaili is the new George Clooney.

Well worth watching. There are no car-chases. No fist-fights with slim women out-punching WWF fighters. No shootouts with bulletproof goodies. Hurray! A well constructed thriller played out by good actors. Plenty of twists and turns. The heroine and her son are the standout characters but the supporting players set the scene well even if they are a bit inconsequential. It won't strain your brain cells and there a few small plot holes but, overall, the actors and screenplay produced a watchable series.

Good acting but too many situations where people do stupid things just to make the story work.

While this starts as any regular Thriller might-- it exceeds in expectations. Several strong Female leads. One fantastic, incredible kid! Virgil Katring-Rasmussen He did such a natural job... rare in the world of child actors. Yes, there were plotlines, expected, predictable, yet enough uniqueness to keep attention strong. Even at the end, it doesn't end with High-Fives. It reflects on impact on participants. One helluva great Mom, (and kid) -- perfect.

Greyzone, an underrated deep Thriller Drama with Nordic vibes and a very interesting premise, well-developed and exploring nicely the Stockholm syndrome on the way. Its strength is its acting and story.

• (+) Suspenseful and thrilling screenplay and storyline's plots. Some scenes had you on the edge of your seat.
• (+) Character-driven series with awesome emotional moments.

• (+-) Good score. Could have been more intense.

The spectrum of emotions shown by Birgitte Hjort Sørensen was just outstanding. A show that deserves a lot more reviews and recognition.

The depth and attention to details of Scandinavian series never cease to amaze me.
