Before We Die

There's some interesting aspects to this show, despite it having pacing issues and being somewhat contrived. It can be frustrating to watch when some plot beats could have been truncated. But I will say the last two episodes of the first season were great and redeemed a lot of it for me.

The second season, however, was so contrived I just couldn't get into it the same way, and the ending was completely perfunctory. Some returning characters' motivations for returning to the show made no sense and it often focused on boring aspects of what could have been a really interesting narrative. It tries to leave it on a cliffhanger but It was hard to care. I'd be surprised if it returned.

Slightly disturbed female cops are the thing in thrillers these days. This is a nice series with interesting plot lines and good acting. It kept me hooked all the way along the first season so naturally I decided to continue with the second. This was a disappointment. Very far fetched plot twists, dead that come back alive, just too much to be credible. So enjoy season 1 and leave it at that.

I love subtitled shows. I seem to get drawn into the story more. I've seen so many in the last few years and Innan vi dör is right up there with the best of them. The acting is top notch and characters are well developed. The storylines take many turns and it keeps things really interesting. I was thrilled to hear a second series is in the works and it can't come soon enough. 8/10

I enjoyed watching this. The basic plot has been seen before but there was a freshness and some originally to this series. The acting and overall production is good. The script is well paced and in the last episode we learn something that refers us back to opening episode. A satisfying finale.

It is a series you keep watching. But it is full of plotholes.
