What a load of garbage Season Four is. All TALK and no action. By episode 3 I was fast forwarding many scene's, deciding to give it one more episode I found myself giving it the x8 FF. What a dreary SLOW season.
The producers must have blown most of the budget on the casts salaries, leaving little else to pay for anything worth watching. Like some actual action.
That is the drawback of these series with successive seasons, the cast's agents soak as much as they can out of the production, with each series getting worse and worse.
The storyline was vacuous, hardly any storyline at all, all just jibber jabber with extended scene's about naff all worth watching.
So after finishing off episode 4 in a matter of a few minutes the very next day the entire season was erased off my hard drive. Who cares how it ended, I am done with it.
How sad for the fans who waited ages for this dumpster fire of a season, how disappointed many of them must be, feeling cheated, because they were cheated.

Very surprised that no one else has given a review of this last episode of the 2nd season. Great episodes all the way through this 2nd season. I would find it hard to just comment about one particular episode when all were of merit. After watching both seasons of Lykkeland, it shows that Norway can produce top quality entertainment.
They can surely act, credit to the actors in this series, not all Norwegian from the looks of it. Throughout it all, there were credible performances seen that gave it all realism. Playing the characters very skilfully. All quite believable.
The script & writing was also of high quality, as was the production, camera work, lighting, set designs and other production work, wardrobe, props, scenery etc. Well put together.
I really could not see what was not to like about it. It taking quite a bit of effort to stage it in the time span that it was set in. I bet the music even fitted years that was shown. The second season I noticed seemed to step up a gear or two. Became a bit more energetic, with more action.
I became more involved in the enfolding story line in the 2nd season. It really was good, as was the first one, that was decent enough. I would recommend both seasons of Lykkeland to folks.
Usually most people will view them in order, though it might not harm things to see season 2 first, then view the first one afterwards. Getting the foundation of it all later on. Filling in on what most people would already be aware of.
Yes there are subtitles to read most of the time, though not all the time as English is spoken quite often.
I very rarely have a problem with subtitles as it does need more fuller attention to be given by the viewer, as unless they can understand the native language it cannot be properly followed.
Giving the viewer little chance to wander off whilst watching the TV program doing other things, fiddling about doing something else.
Great then. Well done to all concerned. Many of these 'foreign' language TV series and even movies are well worth checking out.
Borgen by the Danes and 'The Minister' aka Ráðherrann, with of cause the first season of 'Trapped' both Icelandic productions are favourites of mine. The Minister I found was a powerful and quite scary performance by the same guy in Trapped.
(That series deserves a sequel and prequel as well). As an astute reviewer with scripts in hand commented about that show. If it's still there.
Plus btw of late I have also seen El Presidente, a Chilean TV series of all places, it shows to me these Euro nations and even South American countries can produce excellent work. That I found is well worth watching, if of cause such material is known about in the first place and searched for.
Ok then, I would add to those TV series mentioned above this 'State of Happiness' show. I can't see another season of it coming along, but we never know.
Well worth 9 stars. I enjoyed it a great deal. Great effort by all involved.
