Wisting

It is well acted and is very atmospheric, however the story line is very familiar and the Norwegian acting is good enough that they don't need any Hollywood actors flown in. One for Scandinavian noir fans.

Wisting, like so much else that comes out of Scandinavia by way of crime drama, is pure quality,

Its stories actually manage a decent degree of originality with an international twist that's instantly engaging and intriguing.

That said, I'm personally, no fan of politics and courtroom antics in policing stories, so I enjoyed the first five pure crime drama focused episodes, much more than the latter ones.

Acting is excellent, with an clever family dynamic, that creates degrees of tension but also moments of empathy and caring, between the veteran police officer Wisting and his journalist daughter.

Suffice to say this Norwegian gem is a must watch for fans of crime drama. 8/10.

I'm 3 episodes in and I'm very much enjoying this show. The plot is suspensefull and the characters are likable.

The acting is excellent, for the most part. Some of the dialogue seems a bit forced, especially from the periferal characters. But mostly it's good. I really like the fact that they got Carrie Ann Moss(Trinity from The Matrix) to come to Norway for this role. She is off course excellent, as always.

The dynamic between the norwegian Police Officers and the FBI agents is fun to watch and I really liked Moss' character's jab at the notion of not carrying firearms and even having to ask permission to bring them on assignments.

Really looking forward to see how this plays out!

Continuing the brilliant run of Scandi series like The Bridge and The Killing this will hold its own with the best of them.

Great plot, great acting, great direction. Very watchable indeed.

Just finished the first 5 episodes, all in one sitting. Just couldn't stop. it's that good.
