Modus (2015-2017)

Scandinavian top series.
Season 1: very good with a great cast consisting of many familiar faces. Compliments to the cast villain: he was really good in his role. The plot was slightly less than season 2, but apart from that and the message behind it, it was an exciting whole until the last moment.
Season 2: Excellent. Although the plot was slightly less, more improbable, the whole was more beautiful and exciting than the first season. The poorly developed ending didn't detract from the fascinating whole. This was a season to watch in succession; not a 'page turner' but an 'episode turner'.....

Exciting eight-part Swedish series about a number of murders that are bizarrely connected. Typical Scandinavian quality, so well made, well played and beautifully portrayed. So many good series are now being made in Scandinavia that it is difficult to stand out above the ground, but this is certainly worth it.

In itself the series started quite well but it was difficult to get some 'feeling' with the protagonists. But hey, who knows.

Halfway through, I found the series getting more and more specific that anything gay, autistic, refugee is vulnerable and what is being murdered by a very right-wing American anti-all that isn't Christian, white, and superior.

I can have quite a bit, but exaggerating is also a profession and not everything has to be pushed down the throat of what is supposedly 'right' and 'wrong' and then viewed from a certain political angle. A kind of demagoguery.

I dropped off the series halfway through. The political antagonism between 'left' and 'right' is becoming increasingly black and white and is even now turning into a popular commercial hype.
