Fartblinda (2019-2025)

Very good series with a perfect cast; especially the bank owner Otto (Claes Månsson). It could be that in ordinary life, as good (and so dirty) as he puts it. Well as far as banks are concerned, I only trust one and that is 'my old sock'. In other words, the story in this series is very well put together and shows the possible corrupt invisible side of these companies. Very well played, captivating from the first to the last part with also some tense moments every now and then. It's just a shame that 8 parts are needed to build a good story and then cut off the ending way too abruptly. Well, unless of course there would be a second season, but it seems to me that the first one will be further elaborated upon.

Economic journalist Bea Farkas (Julia Ragnarsson) investigates the financial workings of Together Casino after the suicide of a young gambler. She meets her ex Peder Rooth (Matias Varela), who has become a director at a finance company after serving his prison sentence. The Swedish Blinded is the light version of the excellent Norwegian Exit. That's where the comparison ends. Season 2 of Blinded is completely implausible, boring and predictable. Despite actors of name and fame - Ane Dahl Torp also makes an appearance - Blinded is no more than a dud.

Over halfway there now, but what I mistakenly posted earlier in s1:

I've already had enough of these annoying characters after just one episode, but oh well, I'm watching along, so I'll just sit through it. Fortunately, Julia Ragnarsson makes it somewhat bearable...

Episode 2 seemed a bit better, but then you get that bickering between Bea and her editor-in-chief that comes across as totally unbelievable; no journalist would come up with a single case, but this way you do have interaction and a continuation of the plot...

...naturally remains standing, and it isn't getting any better.

The story could have been told more smoothly (at least so far).
