Sthlm Requiem

A series with good acting, interesting storylines, but with soulless character personalities completed with an awful score.

Would you like to see a depressed investigations unit, follow their demons and psychological weaknesses, that's the series for you. The writers and producers even managed to waste Alexej Manvelov's acting and presence.

Anti-depressants for most involved would have raised the bar. A disgrace to the Noir genre and Scandinavian fine shows.

It took a few episodes to understand the relationships, of characters. But the ambiance and theme of the writing and production overcame the hiccup. Would love to see this has another series,but that seems unlikely. Fabulous from start to finish.

Again!! a very well done Swedish series. Great acting and story lines, also very sad all the way. Nordic series are my favorite now, ..the best by far!! America eat your heart out!! Avoid it if you are only a fan of comedy and good feeling series.

Really enjoyed this cop program, characters different, you do have to fill in some gaps with own imagination but a slow build which all links together at the end. A modern day Swedish type of Dexter. Hoping a series two might happen.

It should be noted that some of the reviews here are so excessively unfair in their criticism and ratings that quite frankly they are not worth paying much attention to. Being British, I watched it with English subtitles and enjoyed it, so perhaps it is weaker from the perspective of a Swedish native.

The series was well worth my time, with some interesting characters and stories that deserved more space for further development. Some of the characters struggle with psychological problems as a result of their work and/or events in their personal lives, and I thought this was portrayed reasonably realistically.

It is somewhat dark and you will not be spoon-fed happy endings, but is all the better for that.
