You don't need to look too hard to interpret "Partisan" as a politicised drama.
There's is, for me, a pretty obvious message pushing multi-cultural-ism. That's no crime in itself but it's simplistic overtones, I feel, ignores many of the complex and often discordant issues, associated with this philosophy. Its hardly a one sided debate, by any means.
The other problem I have with this series is its associating what appears to be a cult of eugenics orientated supremacists, with green initiatives, like organic food. I personally fine it dubious given how much stress and damage, pesticide based, commercial agriculture, is causing to the environment.
Moving beyond these concerns, I came to this series primarily because I'm a big fan of actor Fares Fares, who I first encountered in film adaptations of Jussi Adler-Olsen's crime novels.
As per usual Fares hands in an excellent performance as Johnny the undercover cop. Indeed to be fair, so do other cast members. The cinematography is also, excellent.
That said, I can't find any degree of personal comfort in this series. My reservations about its tone and underlying messages, bothers me. For this reason I wont be watching any further.
5/10.
