Each episode was so non-nondescript, I waited until I'd seen the whole series before writing this review.

For me, it was a let-down. The main character is not strong enough to suit my taste. He sort of goes through an evolution, but nothing worth noting. I thought after dinner he should have pinned the ol' lady to her bedpost and then chalked it up to transitioning through his Oedipal complex. Especially, since those scenes allegedly took place in Sweden. But no . . . No fire.

Yes, it was about a bank. But still, where was the life? The Swedish woman raised an important point regarding no longer enjoying her home. But the lead character had NO insightful reply. IOW: he really was just another stupid lost sheep.

If you're gonna eat up several hours of my life, you gotta show me something. If I can't learn from your exposition, then you've wasted my precious life.

This presentation was too bland to be meaningful. As others have mentioned, this series includes some interesting cinematography. But when everything is said and done, that was just another vacuous pretty face.
