7/10
.. and let's hear it for The Band, folks
30 August 2021
I agree with the praise thus far in most of the other reviews. This fresh and relatively light take on an old genre (like not even using the "V" word) was a treat. For a change, I didn't feel there were too many episodes for the content. The ending works as a one-and-done or as the basis for more seasons - whichever way the financing wind blows. That's viewer consideration of the highest order.

But let's not overlook the role of the score. I'm usually not very conscious of that element, apart from Tarantino flicks, since he invests so heavily in beating us over the head with his playlists. Brilliantly. In this case, the background music finds the sweet spot between eerie and quirky to perfectly complement what we're seeing. Silje Katralen earned the right to take a bow for her excellent contribution as music supervisor.
