Roslund & Hellström: Box 21

Unlike Mr/Mrs 25 Feb 2020 ..I loved this series!! I am not going to shred it. I enjoyed it. Can't wait for season 2 !!

I am Scandinavian & obviously into all Nordic noir. One of the best I have seen and am waiting desperately for serie 2.

The story is well conceived and well acted. At times, it is both grim and hard-hitting.

Fiction aside, the viewer may even be prompted to pause and consider the real girls who choose this risky way out of a dead-end life.

If those aspects came across well, then there were also some misgivings. As a theme, sex-trafficking, drugs and violence has been done to death in recent years, so it would take something very special to stand out from the crowd. This didn't quite hit those heights.

It should also be pointed out - and I've seen others mention it too - that the dialogue is frequently too abrupt to be realistic. - 7.7/10.

Wallander, The Bridge, The Killing, Borgen. Scandinavia has given us some excellent drama series. Sadly, however, a slew of rubbish shows has followed in their wake. This one is typical. Predictable, under produced, under scripted with two dimensional stereotypes. Motivations, actions and scripts have huge gaps. Conversations which would have been had are simply not there. Disappointed.

I'm just glad I didn't read the reviews before hand and would of probably steered clear. Thanks I didn't. This 6 part drama has it all. Don't listen to the doubters, it's great right up until the final second.
