Beck: Sista vittnet (2002) Season 2, Episode 8

Amazing Closer for Season 2

[10/10 · 29 September 2012]

I must admit this is one of the best Beck episodes there is--it keeps you on the edge of your chair the entire time! Beck is already such a wonderful series, but this episode was superb. The character portrayal within Sista Vittnet was one of the main reasons the show was so gripping and so realistic, and the plot line was far more complex than it appeared at first. Each of the characters has his or her own set of problems and successes, and they are all well played out throughout the course of the episode--the interesting plot is seemingly divided for much of the show, but everything falls into place by the end, as usual. This show is especially appreciated once you are familiar with the characters-- it adds a dimension of personal understanding. Overall, the storyline for Sista Vittnet was extremely well-written.

Beck (1997– )

Wonderful series

[10/10 · 1 September 2012]

This series has been around for quite a few years, and it has been airing as of lately on the MHz Network during the international mystery and drama hour each week. I'm quite enjoying it—as aforementioned by other users, the two main actors, Haber and Persbrandt (who play Martin Beck and Gunvald Larsson, respectively) are phenomenal at interpreting the roles they are assigned. The series is well-written, and each character has a great deal of personality—the viewer is able to grow with the characters as they continue their assignments throughout the series. That being said, the other actors deserve applause as well.

I would definitely recommend this program to other fans of mystery and suspense... I think this series is a bit under-appreciated where I am (I'm not from Sweden), and it deserves more publicity here, although it isn't as recent as many other shows.
