Furia

Not surprisingly on a conservative dominated site like IMDB, this brilliantly executed, intelligently written series has got a very low rating and plenty of negative reviews. Do not be fooled. This is a thought provoking and smart thriller with political undertones. Unless you are a Nazi or neo-Nazi, I don't see how you cannot like this. Yep, I know this is provocative. It is intentional. Why should I always be the one getting annoyed by the comments here?

Some reviewers have noted that the start was great and the end so long and drawn out with nothing happening.

That is part of the genius of the film! We start off with breathtaking Norwegian scenery, fumbling local cops, and begin to understand what is happening. It helps to know what happened at Utøja in Norway in 2011 in order to understand the motivation.

We cut to boooooring German landscapes, the chaos of Berlin, and dive deeply into the inner workings (or rather, dysfuncationality) of German officials. That is what makes it so believable, and scary.

The acting is great! Ine Marie Wilmann can talk with her eyes, Christian Berkel does a very believable move from arrogant minister to human back to arrogant minister. Some of the others are a bit two-dimensional, but they fit so nicely into Norwegian and German stereotypes.

Another Scandinavian Noir gem. And unfortunately, too believable. No more, don't want to spoil. See it.

Didn't feel something exciting started to happen until episode 4-5.

The story was well built and with good scenery.

As a Norwegian the chosen actors was kind of a disappointment. This is the same actors that they use in EVERY movie, plus they even changed their dialect. That made it even worse.

From the beginning it got pretty small narrative, but it evolves nicely into something a lot bigger, with some surprises along the way.

Mostly great acting from both the german and norwegian actors which mixes up well.

As others are writing, the.cinematography is ranging from pretty good to excellent. Some really good shots and scenery.

The Norwegian film industry delivers yet another top series. Furia is well acted, well paced and has a really intriguing storyline, all of which keeps the tension mounting as we learn more and more about what's going on.
