Debi Enker The Age (Australia) 01/20/2022
The plot gets a bit creaky as it works to maintain its momentum, but the suspense is absorbing over 10 episodes and the desert setting is striking and spectacular. Go to Full Review Mira Fox The Forward 08/02/2023

Unfortunately, the two stories also share the same flaw: a formulaic terrorist plot that revolves around simplistic, racist depictions of Muslims. Go to Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) 01/03/2022
Despite [its] limitations, The Girl from Oslo succeeds asa it abandons generalities to enter the world of its characters. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 12/29/2021
While the episodes of The Girl From Oslo are a fast-paced 30-or-so minutes each, the plot is so basic and predictable that you're better off finding far better shows with similar themes, like Fauda. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Chris F Sep 13 Terrible acting and background music. Plot is weak as well. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 29 10 successful episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In Norwegian and English audio versions with English subtitles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Edoardo C @HAROLDO 06/19/2023 meanwhile I love Nordic TV productions more and more, specifically in these last 2/3 years, this miniseries has potential but 10 episodes are really too much. should be six, tops. nevertheless, in this poor panorama, is something that can be watched. See more sarah a @Padlock 06/10/2022 Really enjoyed this series. My only slight annoyance was when the mother managed to smile and laugh a few times not long after her daughter's disappearance. Didn't think this reaction was realistic at all and left me shouting at the TV. Other than that, it was gripping and tense and I would highly recommend See more 05/16/2022 Even with the soap-opera'y script, this could have been interesting, but the awful acting really makes it impossible to watch. Special mention has to be made of the actress playing the mother of the kidnapped girl from Oslo--she's just not able to portray the believable emotional reactions of a recognizable human being and you'll quickly find yourself rooting for the ISIS guys (who at least are relatable).
