Knutby (2021–2024)

Swedish noire in a true story

[7/10 · 17 December 2021]

The series follow the events, in a very truthful manner, in an actual true story. This happened in a closed Christian community! Talk about sects, right!!! Low key pace in story-telling and sparse character building leaves much to the viewer to build on, to brood about, to analyze and so forth. Swedish story-telling does not disappoint!

Formula 1: Drive to Survive (2019– )

The thrill!

[9/10 · 29 March 2021]

Wow what's this? 58-year-old female with no car interest whatsoever, if it's not electrical, gets hooked on this series? Well, they must have done a good job then right? And, they have! This is absolutely amazing. I've learned so much so I'm gonna watch the 2021 formula 1 series on cable this year. It's exciting, informative and you get it all: blood, sweat and tears. And, for sure, you get your favourites to cheer on.

The Leftovers (2014–2017)

Whats the deal?

[6/10 · 6 November 2020]

I'm sorry I'm not thick at all, but I don't get the hype of this series. It's very well played and every technicality is in place... but.... it's just weird. I can't get past that and I'm halfway into season 3. What am I missing?

Waco (2018)

Only in America

[15 April 2020]

I have just one thing to say and that is: only in America!

Why not just let people be?

Agent Hamilton (2020–2022)

Swede noir

[8/10 · 18 January 2020]

Hamilton has gone through many phases in Swedish filmatography. This setup is promising so far after the first episode. It captures the essence of the genre in a reliable but sped up way. I am looking forward to the rest of it

Aquaman (2018)

Heroic saga

[8/10 · 29 June 2019]

Wonderful photo and animations, rated at least a 10. Storyline and characters are stereotypic, rated 5ish. On the whole a very entertaining film with marvellous photo.

Chambers (2019)

Grows on you

[8/10 · 7 May 2019]

This series really grows on you and you have to give it a chance. The final episode of this, I hope, first season really gets you hooked. So in short, the tension increases from episode to episode and at the end you finally get some answers. Result is, you're STUCK! Only drawback is a somewhat too obvious antagonist.... or? Luv it!

Critical (2015)

So good

[9/10 · 28 February 2019]

Incredible surgery scenes, so realistic, thriller concept, lots of blood and gore not for the faint-hearted, intriguing and major love story gone bad in the background. Love it <3

Hold the Dark (2018)

Wonderful movie

[10/10 · 23 October 2018]

Photo, acting, scenery... this film has it all. It's clearly nothing for the mainstream movie viewers. You really have have to pay attention to both dialogue and photo. It's immensely beautiful and mystical

Outlander (2014– )

It has got everything

[10/10 · 16 September 2018]

It is one of the most amazing love stories I have seen. And, it doesn't shy away from the history of that time. A violent and passionate story with historical references. I love it.

Trauma (2018)

Really good British drama

[8/10 · 1 August 2018]

I really love British productions and I was not disappointed with this either. I found the acting very good and the story had a very nice twist to it at the end. Built like a classic short story with an unexpected ending.
