Morten (2019)

Starts off ok-ish, quickly descending in absurdity

[2/10 · 6 May 2024]

Acting is ok and the overall premise of the story could be really good. Not comparable to the excellent Dutch series Klem/Bloodpact, but not bad

But why they needed to add the ridiculous sub-plots , god knows .

The main story line is enough and it didn't need the "Euthanasia pill retirement home murder" story or the "Muslim son joins jihad movement "

There are plot-holes the size of a crater; and after episode 4 it becomes totally unbelievable/bordering laughably absurd .

I had to sit through to the end to see how this nonsense would wrap up; and I wasn't disappointed- the most ridiculous ending . Another 8 hours of my life I won't get back..

The Pleasure Principle (2019)

Vague ,convoluted plot and dialogue

[4/10 · 31 July 2021]

I liked the idea of 3 police detectives from different countries working together, but the plot and sub-plots are confusing and sometimes irrelevant.

The English dialogue is dreadful, using words native English speakers wouldn't use, never mind if it's your 2nd language.

I regret sitting through all 10 episodes..
