Unfortunately, this show takes you on a rollercoaster rider that eventually crashes. Horribly.
In 7 of 9 episode, the show entertains me. Decent acting, okay way of telling the story. It kind of guides you between different perspectives and emotions of the story.
Sure, lack of details, too dumbed down and characters that are a bit "too Netflix" for my taste, but you could let that slip.
However, the last two - and especially the last one - is a disaster. Disaster and disrespectful to the true story and to anyone watching the show. Not only does it present events in an awful way, almost all characters act illogical and no resurrection for anyone.
I understand it's not a true story kind of show and neither do I demand that, but how the end handles the story and the first episodes is a shame.
The two last ones drop my rating from 6 to 3.

Do you have environmental anxiety? Do not watch this. A good satire that hits where it hurts about how we put our heads in the sand and how we put our trust in powerful people, but should we?
As a big fan of the book Snabba Cash and the movie trilogy, I had probably too high expectations on this series.
It's good and I had a good time watching it. It kind of followed the blueprint of the original in the way of making it realistic, no silver lining and not the hollywood "everything turned out good" ending.
However, when compared to the films, it's not on the same level. The acting is decent but lack really strong acting. The story is not as interesting and definitely not as intruiging and breath taking.
But the most obvious thing to me is that you don't really care about the characters.
With six episodes the relationships between characters is not explored enough for you to get emotionally attached. At the same time, you didn't want a seventh one.
It's something between a trilogy and a series, but instead of getting the best from the two formats, it misses out on making a story that captivates you.
I think either change the story and make it eight episodes or making it a movie would be more fitting.
So, to sum it up: a decent way to spend 5 or so hours in front of your tv, but not a lasting impression.
