Tom M @Captommo Apr 2 Too draggy,too invested in Laurits'gay boyfriend, too many deviations (like Wotans arrest for drug use and Fjor and Saxas struggle over control of the company). Some of these things are interesting, some of these add exactly zilch to the story. Probably could have been done in one season to better effect. See more Stephen R @RT62465903 04/02/2025 Really was a good adaptation of the Nordic gods and such mythology. Really nice scenery and decent acting. The story was well told with some boring parts but not bad. But, and there is always a but...If all this is in the kids head then how are they showing other scenes. Say like in the giants house, or his Mom getting dinner down at the pub or whatever. Your giving life and actions to figments of imagination that don't really exist. Then I find out it's all in the kids head. After all the things that happened where the kid never was? Just ruined it. Sorry they had a chance to do so much better with this. See more Sapphire T @RT46207965 01/29/2025 This is not badly done, but rather many American viewers are missing the nuance. The tone is consistently spare even in the dramatic portions that simply give it an emotional throughline in keeping with the age of the characters, but it is not Twilightesque in that the strongest emotional beat is on a friendship that had no sexual expectations. The spare quality matches the environs and keeps the myth grounded, playing out as magical realism. It's realistic in its interest in the environment, just presents an actual threat, rather than striking heavy-handedly. There is no reason to cheapen it with a twist because no one had ever really presented the basic mythos, especially not in an authentic voice. This show is a cultural gem and should be savored as such. What? Was it a little too on the nose for you with the sitting-around-with-screens-and-sugar challenge to common American behavior? I am American, but these reviews underscore a cultural insensitivity and ignorance that is shameful, not to mention the accurate criticism within the show. If only we will learn from our mistakes.

See more Fyrst S @Fyrst 12/25/2023 Nice idea, good location, nice mythology let down by extremely bad acting from the lead character. Season 1 was pretty good. Season 2 was tolerable but I was glad it was over. Season 3 - I should have known better. Worst writing and ending since A Murder at the End of the World - another nice nordic drama with lots of potential lost to very bad acting. See more Read all reviews
