User Reviews

Amazing Closer for Season 2

I must admit this is one of the best Beck episodes there is--it keeps you on the edge of your chair the entire time! Beck is already such a wonderful series, but this episode was superb. The character portrayal within Sista Vittnet was one of the main reasons the show was so gripping and so realistic, and the plot line was far more complex than it appeared at first. Each of the characters has his or her own set of problems and successes, and they are all well played out throughout the course of the episode--the interesting plot is seemingly divided for much of the show, but everything falls into place by the end, as usual. This show is especially appreciated once you are familiar with the characters-- it adds a dimension of personal understanding. Overall, the storyline for Sista Vittnet was extremely well-written.
