Review of Blue Eyes

Blue Eyes (2014–2015)
3/10
Big disappointment - 10 wasted hours
16 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I missed this series when it was new, but found it on Netflix recently. But I sort of wish I hadn't found it. The first nine episodes weren't exactly impressive.

  • Several hammy actors from "Trollywood", sounding like they were reading the script form a teleprompter, especially Karin Franz Körlof and David Lindström, who were supposed to be born and raised in Uddevalla, but sound more like ghetto trash from the dangerous suburbs of Gothenburg...


  • A strange lack of tempo. The editing with lingering shots and unnecessary scenes that added NOTHING destroyed a lot of the potential suspense. Each episode could have been at least five minutes shorter.


  • A script full of totally unlikely actions, reactions and especially lack of reactions. The total lack of any kind of sense of security around government buildings and staff is just laughable. And a young mom doesn't become a cold blooded terrorist in a matter of a few weeks.


  • The story is said to begin two months before the parliamentary elections, which are always held in early September. Yet the campaigning is at full speed - but it's the middle of July, when EVERYONE in Sweden is on vacation. No campaigning ever starts until mid August... Plus lots of other plot holes and loose ends all through the story.


  • The very obvious "all rich people are evil" political agenda is quite annoying.


But all this pales in comparison to the terrible last episode, which made no sense at all.

So, no surprise there was no second season.
