The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Starts slow but KEEP watching!
The overall rating for this extremely well made series is misleading; Most that have given it low ratings have only seen 1-2 episodes.
Sure, it starts slow and not much is happening, instead all the new characters are introduced and the current situation in this fantasy world is portrayed.
But if you can overcome the slow tempo in the beginning, you're in for a treat. Gradually you're sucked in and and it just gets better and better: The second half of season 1 is excellent!
Without spoiling anything it's hard to explain why, but there are interesting twists and unpredictable events that keeps me wanting more.
Needless to say the special effects are top notch, good casting and some really good acting.
Due to the slow start I give the overall score of 8, but the second half is worth 10!
Tunna blå linjen (2021)
Painfully realistic
The only reason I don't rate this 10 is because it is excruciating to watch, being so painfully realistic. It doesn't follow the traditional cop shows where one or more cases are followed from start to finish. It instead tells the story of the persons in the uniforms, humanizing them, in their daily life as regular "street" police officers. They don't get to crack the big cases, instead they only see misery and darkness.
Excellent acting in believable characters, in combination with the realistic script, makes this one of the best shows in the genre. But don't expect snappy comments, shootouts or high speed car chases. It's a drama, not an action or thriller.
If nothing else, watch it to get a better understanding of what police officers have to deal with on a daily basis.
Wanted (2008)
Crap
Ridiculous script and bullets flying in slow motion. If you like that type of movie this is for you. For everyone else, don't bother - it is unbelievable bad.
Knightfall (2017)
Better and better
The first 2-3 episodes are disappointing, but then it picks up. Give it time!
