Excellent Norwegian drama series about a whistleblower at a law firm, who maintains shady lines with business and politics. The acting of lead actor Ingrid Bolsø Berdal was initially gewöhnungsbedurftig for me, but after an episode and a half I'm convinced. Berdal plays whistleblower Ida Waage (as CFO, according to the translator 'office manager') and does so with verve and sympathetic. Her dilemmas are recognizable; what are you risking, how important is the truth, how lonely is this struggle and what are the consequences for family and colleagues?

Discrimination, false accusations, harassment, sexual harassment; there seems to be plenty of work for the confidential adviser here. Which isn't in the series, by the way. The screenplay from the makers of Frikjent / Acquitted is lively, with a few dramatic plot twists. Despite a single flaw (the intrusive role of the journalist, for example), an authentic and believable story is told here.

Excellent series. Enjoyed watching. Exciting until the last episode. But whatever Gordon Shumway says, not all storylines are well wound and the ending is rather unsatisfactory. That calls for a follow-up season. The only question is whether this story deserves it.

In itself a very good series with a great story in which, among other things, the speed and tension were good ... up to and including the sixth episode. Namely, from that moment on I felt that things got pretty messed up. In contrast to the solid build-up, the completion was too weak and too fast, which also created a clear run-off to a follow-up season. Those last two parts detracted from the whole as far as I'm concerned; too little content. The cast and the way the series is filmed were also excellent. And as for the harassment in this series; I had to think about 'The Voice' a few times.
