Färjan

Ok, so where to begin? Let's begin at the end. It's the best last episode I have ever watched in a scandi series ever. In a world where so many shows begin great, but end with a ... nothingness (looking at you Netflix) this show really did it all. All character arcs resolved such beautiful. Both heart gripping, sad and tragic Great visual pay-off with action, explosions and fire! What I love the most is that the characters feel so damn real. It's truly a slice of not just Sweden, but also Finland. And I think the British cast gave that extra touch. It starts great with a good little mysterious best, and then we get introduced the the world of Baltic cruises (if you have been on one - check it out, it's ever worse without vampires hahahah) builds up characters and then end with, as I said, the best ep in Swedish tv history.

Highly recommend it.

A typical Swedish activity with a clear melancholy attached to it (cruise to Finland) and the feeling of beeing trapped is not hard to imagine for anyone taking a cruise with a finlandsfärja. But such a cruise is still fun and not pretentious. And this series catches nearly all of the archetypes usually beeing on this ship. Especially good is the creepy wash up singer, but also many from the crew are really good.

The horror is a good take on the vampire mythology, making it feel rather real. It is a little bit like a combination of vampires and zombie contamination. It reminds me mostly of Låt den rätte komma in realistic feel and also telling another tale behind the horror, but it also reminds me of Cronenbergs Shivers.

All in all a good series.

So my last review was ignored by imdb, so I'm trying one more time.

This is a bad series filled with stereotypical characters that isn't interesting, and quickly becomes irritating. There's nothing scary, exciting or suspensful about this. Everything is advertised in advance. It's more like a soap from the 90s, trying to present itself as something new.

Off course it's filled with the usual bunch of characters that we are so used to nowadays, yes you know what I'm talking about. Some are perfect in every sense (as usual), and some are just there to be bad. Don't waste your time on this.

Book was great.unique setting of the ferry between swe/fin is a genius move but this series sufferred hard from tropes, bad judgement and a lot of material that felt old very fast. The whole "kill zombies with a twist of the neck" solution felt very dated to me and the scene with the mother still feeling for her daughter dispite all other victims being like angry vegetables is pretty lame.

Many warm friendship in an environment of caous. Good photo with may close filming and you really feel close to them. Through the hole film it was unexpected things that happened and you could not guess how it should end. Recommend even to thousand who don't like vampires. Just follow all the good relationships that are built.
