Quicksand

If you have read the book, there wasn't as many surprises as it might have been if you didn't. However I am blown away by the adaption of this great book and especially the young actors that are in the show. Hanna Ardéhn, Felix Sandman and William Spetz were all marvelous in their roles. I think they all really brought the complexity and seriousness of the characters to life as well as the struggle to handle mental health issues. You can clearly see from the beginning Sebastian's dysfunctional relationship with his father, and how Maja is suffering because she can't save him from his demons which I think that they portrayed beautifully in this show. In conclusion - great acting, great adaption of the book and a great interpretation of the Swedish upper class society

Would recommend this to everyone (do watch with Swedish sound and subtitles instead and NOT the dubbed version)

This swedish show was one of the highlights of the year so far. Not only because of the superb acting and ongoing suspense delivering a high binge factor. I really liked the narration style enlightening the viewer about the initial "occurance" only piece by piece or episode by episode until the whole picture is being revealed in the last seconds of the show. Very good.

... I want it to be in Sweden. What an outstanding justice system they have. People (prisoners, defendants, even suspects) are treated with civility and respect. None of this American influence where courtroom and prison life is made as dismal, dangerous and inhumane as possible. And the prisons: cells with nice lighting, comfortable furniture and guards who genuinely want to help their "clients".

Sound like Utopia? Nope, it's Swedish prisons apparently.

The first episode was kind of cringe, especially with Majas parents, but it gets so much better and I was unable to turn it off after the second. Great acting by Hanna (Maja) and the lawyer. Very realistic trial and the pace was perfect to keep you in suspense until the end.

Had to watch this since I have kids that grew up in Djursholm and went to that same school called "Sammis" or VRS/VRG. Got some genuin flashbacks from the Djursholms drama, the houses with the typical interiors and I recognised the weird parents with no time but lots of money and the spoiled entitled kids. Most of those kids turned out really good though :) like mine!

This is superb filmmaking at all levels. The pacing was spot on and the story arcs were skillfully executed. The suspense is maintained throughout; the courtroom episodes were terrific. The actors, especially the lead and the lawyer were just great. In fact, all the actors delivered; no weak links. A must see for fans of drama. The sub-titles didn't bother me at all.
