Alot of people are comparing it to the tv series ''Dark'' and giving it bad scores because they claim it's copying Dark even though it's not. It's a new story and everything. Fans of ''Dark'' are acting like no other Tv series is allowed to be about a creepy forest with unexplainable events, Dark wasnt even the first with their ideas either, it's been done before...

Anyhow I thought it was good, maybe not the best of its kind but it has it's good moments so instead of listening to angry fans of Dark you should try it out for yourself and see what you think.

I wasn't expecting much due to the reviews but someone mentioned Midsommar in his comments so I decided to give it a go.

I was pleasantly surprised. I'd say it's a 6.7 out of 10.

I don't get the comparisons with Dark, not related at all. Equinox is way better than Dark's 2nd season anyway.

Up to you, I decided to give it a go despite the bad reviews and I'm glad I did.

I liked the atmospheric, moodiness and artistic cinematography of the cult scenes. But the story does become convoluted with scenes that don't add anything to the story. The show has its slow areas that tested my patience too. But nevertheless I enjoyed the show. But had they edited out some stuff, i would have given it a 7, maybe an 8.

I had high expectations for the series as it had been described as "The Danish Dark" in some reviews and I loved Dark. It actually started pretty good with an interesting mystery peppered with meaningful flashbacks. However, it seems like the writers run out of creative steam in episode 3 or 4 and it went fast on a downward slope to the point I seriously considered not watching anymore. However, my curiosity was more powerful and, at the end, it did not disappoint as much as I thought when the conclusion was reached. If you say you stopped watching, I can't blame you, but give it a try.

I would akin this more to a Midsommer of sorts. It helps if you look up Ostara and Norse mythology. It's not bad if you know what to expect otherwise you probably will have no clue

I had high hopes for this tv show because I like moody Scandinavian shows and also quite fond of Celtic culture. It started off rather good - there was the slow burn and that gloomy atmosphere I was hoping to see. However, aside from the atmosphere the show failed to deliver a logical story and badly lacked any explanation of the events. The ending felt like it was done last minute. It left me with soooo many questions - there were no answers to literally anything, so none of the story makes any sense to me. If they ever make season 2 - I'm not going to watch it.

First, this entire 5+ hour series could have been edited down to 2 hours and lost nothing. At least half of the series was irrelevant, ponderous, or duplicative. The story also completely changes direction / tone and the ending will annoy most. I had the feeling about half way that I was wasting my time and the ending confirmed it. This is NOT anything close to Dark.

I give it a 6 solely on the first 4 episodes, which were generally interesting. Downhill from there with a terrible wrap-up, although I pretty much had guessed where it was heading. Lots of unanswered questions that I won't bother to mention, bc that would just be more wasteful time.

Getting to learn this folk lore that I've heard as a child but in its "true" version was breathtaking and SO spooky. No jump scares needed the vibe was chillin enough. And the main actress was superb. Watch if u like horrors that build on a disturbing feeling.

Just seen the first episode. It opened pretty well looks like a solid show ahead. Speaking of the first episode even though it worked for me some people might need to be a bit patient and let the episode progress till they start getting into the story.

When Astrid (Danica Kurcic) receives a disturbing phone call on her radio program, she decides to return to her hometown to investigate the disappearance of her sister Ida (Karoline Hamm), which occurred 21 years ago, along with 17 other colleagues after an accident at the begin their graduate journey, in what constitutes a return to a traumatic past.

Equinox is a kind of languid fairy tale that crosses family drama, psychological thriller and elements of folk horror in a narrative that follows Astrid in her investigation of the present, her sister Ida in the weeks leading up to her trip and Astrid at that time ( Viola Martinsen), a 9-year-old girl who must face the trauma of her sister's disappearance.

This Danish series could have perfectly been developed into an hour and a half movie instead of a miniseries. I admit that I have problems with folk horror, which generally makes me laugh and I can hardly ever take it very seriously. Equinox does not display much information and only shows most of its relevant cards in its last sections, challenging the patience of the spectator determined to have the enigma revealed in several sections and culminating in a final that will divide waters.

Ida and her classmates are seen as half grown for high school students. Perhaps the most interesting characters are the haunting Lene, the sisters' mother, in charge of a remarkable Hanne Edelund and the girl Astrid with the odyssey of her visions and treatment of her.

It is striking the comparison with Dark, a series with which it has nothing to do, since the German is a sci-fi choral drama and not a fantasy and horror drama. Equinox can be related in its premise with the French series Les Revenants, although not in its development.

Kudos to Danish production and direction, this tv show was more intriguing than dark or strangers in first episodes.. But it gets rudderless and muddy and finally it all gets blown up on its face. People are saying season 2 is unnecessary. I say there has to be more than 1 more season to fully justify the convoluted and spineless ending and fix it in them. Some characters are so powerless and remote controlled, I wonder how this original story /novel like. Overall I'm totally disappointed with the finished product.

Finished this today.

I'll be the first to admit that oftentimes I can be a bit blinded by what I think a show should be and I fail to appreciate what a show is. I sort of let the potential eclipse the final product at the expense of my own viewing experience.

That might explain why I found this series to be somewhat anti-climactic overall. Now, I thought it was fairly intriguing story telling from the beginning, I watched all 6 episodes without it ever feeling like a chore. This is a professional job and at no point was I thinking to myself "this is DUMB" or "that doesn't make SENSE". It was a show that basically ticked all its own self-appointed boxes.

I'm always glad to find a mystery story with a dark touch, investigating unexplained tragedies will always be a fun way to begin a story and this mystery and unravelling is the flesh of the story. I've seen too many police procedural so I want to encourage writers to have independent investigation by people with a personal connection to the tragedy which is so much more emotive.

This chill and downbeat tale has a quiet rhythm as something sinister lurks beneath the surface. The narrative switches very freely between the present day and to both before and after the event. it's very free form but still very followable. The interwoven strands to harmonize and enrich each other.

The issue, I suppose, is not that what we have is that bad, it just feels incomplete in some respects, and too much in others. Paganism informs the imagery of this one which is a very safe approach though highly effective if you do it well. This element of the research however felt to me like a hundred generic teen horrors. The writers have an idea of what pagans look like and what the audience wants to see in them and that's what we got. We have it explained to us very candidly which kills a lot of the mystery element.

That's another problem: rather than be teased with one answer after another leading to yet another question after another, everything just reveals itself far too easily.

But considering it as less of a horror or thriller, maybe it can just be good dark storytelling. Well that is a mixed bag: the storyline with Ida, the sister who goes missing has little to really recommend it besides as evidence to the mystery. I don't think it was intended as profound character development except as a desperate way to flesh out the plot (Marrakesh).

Astrid is a much more interesting character, at least as a child. Viola Martinsen's radiant performance is touching and adorable and she totally steals the show. It's pretty cheesy at times as we go into yet another the-child-sees-more-than-we-can story-types (I've still not forgiven Netflix for the Haunting of Hill House) and it's less than riveting.

There are still some things I don't understand and I'm pretty sure I was meant to understand these points but I don't feel sore about those, I just wasn't paying attention. What I'm mad at is that the mysteriousness just kind of fizzles out and the whole wraps up with amazing neatness.

I will say that there is a definite atmosphere here. These Nordic townscapes, by turns bleak to bureaucratically mundane give an oppressive ethos and the director definitely seems to have been on the ball to give us something to look at. I especially loved seeing hair flow in a golden bath.

So, yeah. Another show that seems interesting but just didn't quite know where to go with itself, falling back on way too many tropes and ultimately showing it knew how to intrigue but no idea how to follow through, whether by reveals or just by keeping us in the dark.

This is the first Nordic TV show I've ever watched more than a couple of episodes of and I wanted to see it do well because how much Nordic media is there? Even in the Nordic territories?

Regarding the comments. Why are we demanding every story teller imitate DARK! This series has its own genre. If you respect the Genre and stop demanding everything be DARK you might enjoy it. It is not even trying to be Dark. Take the DARK 'glasses' off and you may start to enjoy the view of other story tellers.

This is a fictitious tale bringing the old folklore story of Ostara (or Easter as we in the english spaeking world call her) to life. Clever story telling. great acting.

Some pretty meesed up scenes - but I fast forwarded through them.

I thought the ending was good but very patriarchal - disapointing when the series presented so many strong women! - maybe in season 2 they kill him haha!

Good Danish production which fades into weak performance in the last episode... Anyway I liked watching the Serie, it's a smooth crime drama and I really enjoyed acting. Worth for rainy and cloudy days.

Well, can someone please tell me why are people comparing this series to Dark/ Stranger things? I honestly don't get it! Guys, this series is nothing like Dark or Stranger things. People that've made this comparison, I highly doubt If they've watched the entire season! The storyline is inspired from a mythology( story of Ostara ). I must tell you, the lead actress was at her best. If you love moody shows like The OA, just go for it. It's certainly not for all, but doesn't deserve such low ratings! The ending was quite impressive too.
