End of Summer

This is a classy piece of work. Starting right at the top, the writing is superb. Most screenplays slap on big, chunky layers of intrigue, a bit like lasagne, but End of Summer is so much more subtle, creating layers, so quietly introduced you hardly notice, like Filo pastry. Its a guessing game right to the end and no-one will guess in advance, even though they might think they have the answer. The casting is excellent, acting top notch and direction makes the complex screenplay hang together almost effortlessly. This is screen production of the higher order. And of course you need very strong screen talent to carry it, especially in the early episodes when the intrigue hasn't really had a chance to ratchet up yet. This is where Julia Ragnarsson excels as Vera ( and the young actress who plays her child self). Both so very good and totally believable being the same person. To the entire crew and team, thank you for an excellent screen drama.
