What an emotional up en down rollercoaster. Stellan is great, Nicola is really funny to watch. I watched the first two episondes yesterday, i will continue watching this evening. Stellan is so convincing that I actually feel happy for him when he smiles in between his sad and emotional looks.

The best thing I like about this series is how they managed to picture the mind of the main character struggling with losing his partner, which comes down to psychoses episodes. I am a social worker myself so I was very sceptical in the beginning but I was really caught by it all. Until the last moment... The last scene is breathtaking. Honestly, this series is worth watching.

The plot was an interesting premise and the acting was very good but each episode was more depressing than the prior one. I kept watching expecting it to get better based on the really high reviews but it just didn't. John River was the most morose lunatic yet remained employed!?!? The action and story line developed very slowly and I found that extremely tedious. But the long lingering close ups of the depressed lead character really made it difficult to watch. Having sat through all six episodes I can only say I regret the waste of time. Netflix viewers gave it one star -- I will give more credence to their reviews in the future.

This series took me three episodes before it sunk in. The first two episodes teetered between M. Night Shyamalan ridiculousness and Terrence Malick pompous creepiness. Episode three cuts back on the silly voice overs and laughable conversations with dead people, giving this series some serious mojo. Combine that with some top notch writing, stellar acting from Skarsgård and crisp direction and you have an intriguing and engrossing show. But best of all, Manville's strong but vulnerable boss illuminates the series with some revelatory chops that make everything seem more real and more involving with every show. By the conclusion, I was hooked and wanting more. Television shows don't get much more substantive than this.
