Thinking of watching? Don't waste your time


This series was nothing special. I pushed to get through the 10 episodes and it was tough. They absolutely didn't need 10 episodes to tell this story.

I was surprised the cinematography wasn't great considering the locations. Sadly, it lacked style and atmosphere... Two things I thought it would have going for it at the very least.

Some of the performances were bad and those that weren't were just OK. There was nothing special about the actors/characters. They had no charisma whatsoever. They are all a bunch of flatliners.

This series was a bore. It wasn't interesting. The characters were a snooze and the writing was amateurish and sometimes embarrassing.




Spoilers ahead .........................







The plot meandered and wasted time on stuff I didn't care about. The old man triggering the avalanche and getting trapped... DIDN'T CARE. They dragged that out like anyone cared about that character living or dying.

And the ending... Agh. Who the hell goes after some bad guys, who have a gun, and who have killed people WITHOUT TAKING A GUN. Andri apparently thinks when he catches up with them he'll just say "got ya" and they'll follow him to jail.

Oh, and another laugh was when Andri and the other guy were locked in that huge freezer room. The guy said it wouldn't be long before they died. Seriously? What BS. And then the dumbass lights a cigarette with a LIGHTER that could be used, oh I don't know, to make a small fire to keep them warm with some of the paper, cardboard and wood in the room.

Funny, I was just coming on to say how much I love anything produced over there lately. I know very little about Scandinavia and what countries count and what dont but I sure like almost every movie and TV show that Ive seen from that part of the world.Not that ive seen a million mind you but so far so good.
