Wow. Absolutely top. A flawless production. Probably best series I have seen the last year. At first I was a bit hesitant to watch, but after reading reviews, and it is just 6 episodes, I decided to go for it. And I am very happy I did. An intense psychological drama and connections between the two main characters. You are constantly kept on the edge, since there are so many subtleties, unpredictability and atmosphere. Even more captivating since it is based an a real case. I had to binge the whole series in one sittning. And it is very seldom I do that. Do yourself a favour and watch this, you Will be very rewarded.

Excellent créme drama Kate Winselet is doning a terrific role as an inspector in a wore-down gritty small town. All characters are great and the storyline very captivating, realistic and unpredictable. One of the best shows 2021. Well done!

The first episodes hit you like a hard punch in the stomach. Original and well produced series. Disturbing, bizarre and unpredictable. Many very good characters with the big exception of the VIP people that were very bad acting. Korean filmmakers show more and more their ability to make high quality dramas. You are kept on the edge of your seat for the first half of the series. Then it loses some steam and focus. The ending a bit disappointing and the opening for a second seasons feels totally unncessary. One season is enough and it is a very good watch for the not-faint-hearted-viewers.

For anyone interested in action packed car racing this show is a must. At least the first two seasons. It is also fascinating to get an insight into the personalities of the drivers and all other key persons inte the teams. The dramas going on behind the scenes are many times more thrilling than what is happening on the racetrack. What keeps the rating down is that it becomes quite repetitive in its setups and storyline. And most of the time is spent with the teams in the middle. Not the top teams Ferrari and Mercedes. It would have been great added value to get more time with the very interesting personality of Lewis Hamilton, he appears so much more mature and reflective in comparison to most of the other drivers that appear like childish testosterone filled teenagers. After third season I got bored and will likely not watch anymore seasons of this show. Anyhow first two seasons are great.

This is truly a well written and unique series. The storyline is multi-layered well thought out and complex on another level we are definately not used to. The series requires the full attention, possibly required to watch it twice in order to get all twists and layers. Not giving it a ten since third season was a bit repetitive and melodramatic but all in all an absolutely excellent series.

Very straight forward and no nonsense action drama in the migrant underworld in Stockholm, Sweden. Very realistic and dull renderings of the ghettos and no-go areas. Very good characters and nice contrasts between the rich upper class high tech startup world and the criminal ghettos. Very good production and quite interesting plot making openings for more seasons. Still what holds it back, and also is its strenghts, is the quite flat characters. If there are no more depths added in coming seasons you might get tired.

This animated show is like a mixture if Married with children and Simpsons. It is brutally honest in its language and replication of longer middle class familj life in 1970s US. The first seasons are great and feel like an original twist. But then the series feels like stagnating and being mechanical and repetitive. And the storyline loses quality also. And there is also absolutely no finesse and subtlety, it is straight on in your face all the time. Fun at the beginning but after a while gets annoying and feels coarsely. But the rendering of the 70s atmosphere is great. And the first seasons are worth a watch if you are Into these kind of series. I have sen four seasons and Will probably skip next season.

Everything has been said about this excellent series so I just emphasize the main highlights: Season one is one of the best dramas I have ever seen. The storytelling is complex and unpredictable. The chemistry between Harrelson and Mcconaughey is outstanding. This is absolutely a ten, top score. Fantastic on all levels. The other seasons are also very good. All main actors in the series are top notch. For some viewers it is a slow brun, especially season three. Nevertheless this series is is an absolute delight, highy recommended.

A fantastic tour de force during the prohibition era the 1920s and early 30s. A very fascinating and authentic (I assume) rendition of life during this period. The life of a local gangster and his rise and fall in Atlantic City. Steve Buscemi and the rest if the cast are absolutely top class. This is a very high budget show produced according to same standards as other classic shows like Sopranos, Mad Men, GOT etc. It is a constantly evolving story incorporating both real characters like Al Capone and fictional. This is basically as good as it gets, and you get the impression that they don't make these kind of shows anymore. The only negative is that at times it is quite a slow burn, and therefore I give a 9 and not 10. Anyhow this is a must view, ranking easily among the top shows, and I have seen them all.

One of the best TV series I have ever seen. And I have seen most of them so I know where to set the bar. A fantastic production. Gorgeous photography and atmospheres. The show is an exciting combination of an ever evolving love story, humor and cold action. It is a story that brings hope and unites people, finding the common good human denominators in ourselves no matter if we come from North- or South Korea. The chemistry between main actors is so engaging and authentic. The story is engaging and fascinating. Everything is perfect and you never want it to end. What more is there to say? In one word: perfection. You just have to watch this brilliant show. Enjoy!

This is a very well played story about life among the orthodox in Israel. It gives a very interesting insight into the everyday life of these folks. They are battling with the same joys, challenges, love, conflicts etc as everybody else. All characters are excellent, and they provide a very realistic atmosphere. No overplay, you just feel you are being sucked in and almost part of what is happening. This is a hidden gem that should be viewed by many more. It is also very refreshing to exerience a very good show in a totally different language and culture. Don' t miss out on Shtisel! Very highly recommended.

Very beautiful production and rendition of life in the 1940s America. It is such a good production and it gave me a very authentic sense about life in general during this period. However I found the storyline to be too simplistic and not taking the full advantage of an alternative history. There are so many fascinating potential implications in a story like this that I felt was missed. I had much higher expectations about a mind-bending story. However it is a good slow and creepy story about how life of jews become incrementally worse as an effect of US being neutral and making deals with Germany during WW2.

I thought the storyline was quite entertaining, though unrealistic. As is far too common in french shows there are exaggerated characters, overplaying with big gestures and bold expressions. The characters are very stereotype lacking nuances and subtlety to make them really interesting. And there are a lot of logical glitches in the story. And the ending felt quite provoked to needing to make an opening for another season. Still an entertaining flick you can watch without needing to think and reflect upon. It is in your face, easy to follow. And the length of six episodes also an appropriate length.

This is a good follow up of the first season Deutschland 83. A good reminder and time travel to the 80s cold war, ending of both DDR and apartheid regime in South Africa. The storyline can at times appear a bit fragmented and not really clear. But that is not so important.

Of much more importance is, and it is good to be reminded of, the actual situation in the world and East Germany during this period. How DDR did absolutely anything, without any limits, to bring in western currency to the more and more bankrupt DDR state.

The scenes and sets from DDR appear quite realistic. And we get a more nuanced, human and mature picture of the main character and his life. The show is both serious and sometimes dark. Still there is an ongoing sarkasm and humour in how things are portrayed that makes this both a serious and fun and enjoyable watch. Hopefully there will be a season three.

This is a very well produced show based on a book by Roberto Saviano. Great atmosphere and probably a quite realistic story about todays drug trade. We get to view the different perspectives from all of the involved parties in this business, which is interesting. Also the storytelling with a broken timeline and non-linear chronology (quite similar to Tarantino) is a great way to create attention and surprises. This is a solid production but still it cannot measure against the masterpiece series Gomorrah also based on a Saviano book. Gomorrah is in another league, on the same level as Sopranos, or even better. Still this is a great show and the ending of the first season sets the stage for another season with I look forward to watch. If you are interested in shows about drug business this is a great choice.

After the first episode you think this cannot go any more crazy than this. And then in the subsuqent episodes it just escalates. And your jaw is dropping to your feet. Reality supercedes fiction they say and this documentary is a perfect example of that. Totally fascinating, I watched all episodes in one evening. And the involved people in this story, mostly all of them are very unlikable as persons. Very hard to have sympathy for any of them. Real crooks and criminals. But jeez what a ride into the darker sides of mankind! Understandable that this is one of most watched shows on Netflix right know.

This is the a very stylish action and horror show. The scenic sets, production and photography is absolutely stunning. It is a visual feast to enjoy. The storyline is quite simple. People are being attacked by zombies that are infested by some kind of disease. And they attack people to spread the desease. And people are trying to flee or fight this zombie epidemic that threathens their lives and civilization. This may sound stupid, but it is highly entertaining in its simplicity. It is hard to be really scared, but it is intensely action packed with fantastic photography. It is like mixing a Samuraij movie of Kurosawa with a modern action and horror flick. All presented in a fantastic package. Get some popcorn and be ready for some intense enjoying action!

After watching season two I am impressed by the quality of production, characters and storytelling. Second season is considerably better than the first. So this rating of nine is for the second season. First season I would rate a seven. I have watched the entire Narcos Netflix series starting with Escobar in Colombia, moving through the Cali cartel and now with this series the action is in Mexico. The series is also very educational about the history of modern drug trade business. And gives further insight and understanding of important historical events, like the rigged presidential election 1988 in Mexico and how that is related to various shadowy and criminal interests. So, apart from good suspense and action, you also get a very good historical lesson in the evolvement of drug business.

Diego Luna is a real star as the leading character. But there are so many other good actors here so it is a real joy to experience the cast. If you were put off by the first season of Narcos Mexico, don't hesitate to watch season two. It is on another level. I now look forward to season three of this great show. Well done Netflix.

This is one of the best shows I have ever experienced. It takes place in Naples Italy from the early 1950s and onwards following the lives of two best friends Lili and Elena as they progress in their lives. The storyline is gripping and captivating. The characters are so interesting authentic yet complex and nuanced. The rendition of Italy in the 50s and 60s is so fantastic. Attention to all details is absolutely perfect. This is poetry and on a totally different level in comparison to most other good shows today. This series deserves much much more attention. I am so happy that I found this gem. Do yourself a favour and put this show on top of your list. You will be happy you did, I guarantee! I have seen most of the major series so I know what to compare with ( see my other reviews for a reference) Wow what an excellent series this is! Perfection.

It starts ut as an intruiging murder mystery. We have seen this many times before: a small US town with very odd and strange characters share a common tradgedy which raises a lot of suspicion and bad feelings in this small society. It feels like a good start. Still the characters are very boxy and stereotype with little depth and complexity. And the storyline is slso very simple with zero complexity or interesting twists. After the first episodes, which are quite promising after all, the show vanishes into a bizarre hole of supernatural horror story. The pacing is extremely slow and there is absolutely nothing in the story or build up of characters that justifies this slow pacing. After having seen all first season I felt cheated, having spent all these hours on this show. There are so many other good shows out there. Don't waste your time on this one.

This is a solid production about the immoral whereabouts in the financial industry in Frankfurt. In a way it could be seen as a German variation of the US series Billions. The plot is interesting and is a quite believable powerplay in high finance. Still it is not that very engaging and quite predictable. The characters are quite diverse and interesting. Still they appear a bit flat and shallow in the portrayal. They didn't really engage on an emotional level. But, it could also be a reflection of the German culture which can appear as squary and reserved.

Anyhow it is still solid entertainment and if you are interested in the financial industry you should absolutely watch this. The series is also quite manageable in length, each season is just 6 episodes.

This series is one of the best replications of 1970s New York. The time travel is the real gem of this series. The evolution of the sex industry from the art and almost Hollywood-esque production and filmstars of the 70s to the more industrialized video based products of the 80s. We are following the same main characters for all seasons, and the plot is ok, but I would have liked it too be a bit more subtle and complex. I never became really engaged in the storyline but I was enjoying every moment of the recreation of these times almost 50 years ago. If you are of the right older age, that alone will be a good argument to start watching this series to relive this period. Especially the first two seasons.

This is in fact a quite appropriate representation of the environment of the super rich. The cynicism, arrogance and lack of empathy for the world around. Creating a state of mind that the world and its people is up for grabs without needing to be too happy and enthusiastic about it. I know because I have been in connection with these super rich people so the description of their character is in fact quite realistic, believe it or not.

The series brilliantly shows the dynamics of money and power works and what can easily happen with a rich family when there are no real human values. Basically all characters are very unlikable, I wouldn't liked to have any of them as a friend.

The cast and characters are excellent. Each character is unique and blends perfectly into the whole. The series can be quite slow moving, but be patient and give it some time. You will be rewarded. I am really looking forward to season 3 of this fantastic dysfunctional family drama.

I am so glad that I now finally took the time to view this excellent series. A very gripping and well played show about real life issues with some good twists. I would rate it in the same top league as classics like Sopranos and Six Feet Under. This is also a very good representation about the psychoanalytic therapeutic process, and I know that episodes from this series is used in education.

Anyhow the stories are engaging, there is all kinds of emotional experiences like love, despair, hope, suspense, happiness, humor and everything in between.

Two first seasons are masterclass, the final third season not on that level but still really good.

Are you tired of all over-dramatic high octane fantasy show being pumped out today? Do yourself a favour and watch In Treatment. You will be highly rewarded and having a very good feeling of having spent your time in a meaningful way.

I started watching this since there were some recommendations about it. Also quite interesting with a Spanish series. Fiorst sesaon starts out well with thge staging of a quite clever heist. Season two felt just too drawn out without adding any particular to the intrigue. Season three basically becomes a copy of first season, a new heist in a quite similar setting. It would have been much more interesting if the story had been much more around their lives as fugitives out in the world. After a while I lack complexity, and the characters are very shallow and stereotype. Overall acting is quite average, no real stars to shine. I kept watching all three seasons and was a little disappointed in the end. I had expected more. No sure if I will spend time in the next season (which I am quite sure they will make).
