Bron is a gripping Nordic-noir crime thriller built around eerie murders, atmospheric cinematography, and a strong sense of tension stretching across the Öresund Bridge. The show succeeds most in its dark tone, complex investigations, and the chemistry between the leads. The pacing can be uneven at times, but when it's good, it's very good. The mystery arcs stay intriguing, and the Scandinavian setting adds a distinct moodiness that sets it apart from most crime dramas.
Unlike many crime shows that rely on instant breakthroughs or flashy high-tech shortcuts, Bron gives time to:
long hours of coordination,
team-based investigation,
paperwork and bureaucracy,
interviews that take multiple attempts,
evolving hunches rather than magical leaps.
It shows how slow, methodical, and often frustrating real investigations can be, grounding the story in believable procedure without sacrificing tension.
The character Saga feels way too exaggregated.
The show uses exaggeration to make Saga stand out, but this can come at the cost of realism.
Autistic people - including those once diagnosed with Asperger's - are not robots. They feel emotions deeply, form relationships, experience empathy, and learn social strategies. Their personalities vary enormously from person to person. Spectrum conditions are just that: spectrums. Many autistic people communicate warmly, joke, love, and express themselves just as vividly as anyone else. They dont act like robots.

25th Hour is a slow-burn drama that digs into regret, guilt, and the weight of consequences during a man's last 24 hours before going to prison. Edward Norton delivers a restrained but deeply believable performance, and the supporting cast adds layers of tension without ever crowding the story. Spike Lee's direction gives the film a moody, almost dreamlike tone, especially in the New York cityscapes and bar scenes.
The film's strengths come from its characters and atmosphere; those long conversational scenes linger in your mind. It's also interesting how it becomes an unofficial snapshot of post-9/11 New York, grounding the narrative in a real emotional moment.
Where it stumbles is pacing. A few scenes drag, and the philosophical detours-while fascinating-sometimes feel repetitive or stretched. Not everyone will connect with the melancholy tone or the lack of clear resolution.
Still, 25th Hour succeeds as an introspective, stylish drama with standout performances and a heavy emotional punch. It's not a film for when you want action or tight plotting, but if you're in the mood for something thoughtful, it hits hard and stays with you.

I'm not sure who asked for this remake, but it certainly wasn't fans of the original. "Vi på Saltkråkan 2025" feels like a watered-down, soulless imitation that strips away everything charming about Astrid Lindgren's classic world. The cozy atmosphere and heartfelt character moments are replaced with cheap jokes, flat performances, and a painfully modern tone that clashes with the setting.
Instead of updating the story with care, the show simplifies everything to the point of boredom, as if viewers can't handle nuance anymore. It tries to be nostalgic while ignoring what made the original special. In the end, all you're left with is a shallow, forgettable copy.
Just rewatch the original instead. This remake only proves how unnecessary it was.
