Jim W @TVViews 2d I was a full 5 out of 5 until the end. Great acting. Santelmann was fabulous. As was Kinnaman. And a special mention for the kid, Maxime Bochud - awesome job! I thought the script went south with introduction of Willie Barli - both the character and actor - kind of ruined it. I felt really let down, like "you guys can do better than that". Ignoring everything about the theatre twist (which is a heavy lift), I loved the show. The final sentence of the final scene gave me hope for a Season 2.

While investigating a brutal serial killer who leaves severed fingers and star-shaped diamonds, Harry is forced to work with his nemesis, corrupt detective Tom Waaler. As bodies pile up, Harry suspects Waaler is "The Prince," a cop leading a criminal underground, forcing him to navigate a treacherous web of police corruption. The investigation becomes deeply personal when Waaler threatens Harry's loved ones, culminating in a dangerous showdown to expose his rival. Harry successfully stops the immediate threats, but the season ends with the chilling revelation that a secret, powerful cult still poses a danger to his future.

Also they evidently felt the need to dwell on gory, bloody details maybe for the sensationalism / shock factor, but I felt that was overdone. The music was overdone as well in that it was overpowering the scenes with the volume and intensity . I would have liked a second season because I did like all the characters (and the reason for the three stars) but if it follows the same tone I would not watch it. By the way it ended I get the impression it will be more of the same. See more R T @RT24598317 May 2 Verry good story, hope there will be a second season. See more Anon N @RedMarauder Apr 26 Super. I enjoyed this series very much. Very good adaptation of the book. Harry's world looks and feels a lot like I picture it in my head when reading the book. I would recommend watching it in original language with subtitles, it works much better. The dubbed version loses a lot of the atmosphere. Tom makes quite a scary cold psycho predator killer. Harry trudges along heavily weighted down by all he carries. I like that he is no American type hero with superpowers. Just a normal guy. That happens to survive. On a wing and a prayer. Also as in the book, the setting and locations all over Oslo are like a main character. Gory scenes dots up the dark universe. Our suspension of disbelief can be stretched at times but it is well rewarded. See more Pete C @Pete1 Apr 21 I enjoyed the acting, though the plot/writing felt a little haphazard. The various storylines did not come together very well at the end, I thought. Seems like there is a lot of potential here if they could tighten things with the writing. Didn't read the books, so not sure how it compares. Seems like it's worth a watch. See more Read all reviews
