    stevebrooker What a TV show watched in 24 hours, dont worry about the subtitles you find that you are not reading them when you are.Beautifully paced with plenty of twists and turns throughout the show, a family bent to protect there past no matter who gets hurt past present or future.I dont want give anything else away in spoilers then the family.The scenery and how it was shot, you want to be there to visit, to see the village to the fjords the mountains the roads, and what was smart is how season 2, follows on from season 1 in respect we are now into winter, it allowed us to see the village and surrounds for a 12 month perspective, just beautiful, i need to visit one day, just to admire the beauty.Lets say the shows was remade in the USA, it would be destroyed no way in the world can this show be done that way, a true Scandinavian feel.
    ratzs and I immediately lost interest when the main character flat out lied to his wife (sorry she was a very bad actress) there was no 'realness' to the interaction - call me rash but I have watched enough series to know when something doesn't gel for me. There was the issue also of sub titles continually even when English was being spoken and I found that distracting.
    Bene Cumb In recent years, next to Denmark and Sweden, Norway has produced a number of good crime drama series where events occur in a small and/or distant community, with is vices and virtues. In spite of being one of the richest countries in the world, the human basics are the same, plus thinly populated areas and common solitude make investigations more difficult. All this we can see in Frikjent as well, with tensions up due to a tragic event taken place decades ago. Sometimes it feels that the depiction is too widespread and the role of some characters and episodes is insignificant (e.g. the company-related ones), but the general atmosphere is well depicted and most important performances are pleasant, particularly Nicolai Cleve Broch as Aksel and Lena Endre (a Swede) as Eva whose mutual communication forms the most intensive verbal scenes in the series. The mentioned persons are definitely worth watching in other films/series as well, which I have managed to achieve. And what is definitely nicer than in Sweden or Denmark, is nature. Also here, beautiful Norwegian landscape and environment is a kind of supporting actor for creating mood and completeness.
    shirleyangela This series looks absolutely excellent to me and it appears to be full of superb acting (not to mention spectacular scenery and a compelling, complex and largely well-rounded storyline). I did feel the last episode wasn't as completing as I would have liked BUT my huge disappointment is the feeling that the distributors have badly let down and disrespected the entire production team with very poor subtitles and distribution errors like selling into an advertisement free platform but providing cropped episodes (e.g. you see the 'shown previously' at the beginning of the next episode only to find it includes scenes you've not been shown).Why would anyone take a fantastic series that could be immensely popular and lay the basis for sales of further series and completely ruin it with poor subtitles and lack of attention to detail in provision of episode lengths/types?
