Sekunnit (2024– ) User Reviews

Intelligent, well thought out

[laduqesa · 8/10 · 20 April 2024]

On the face of it, a series about an accident investigation team doesn't seem like an enticing prospect. However, like many Finnish programmes, it was aimed at an intelligent and literate audience which most of Finland is.

The characters were well rounded with appealing and credible back stories. It wasn't all perfect! The adulterous affair between the wife of one of the injured victims and an investigator was not really true to life given his upbringing and beliefs. And the ending just prior to the team's press conference giving the results of the investigation was melodramatic.

This was a complete series with no cliffhanger but there's obviously scope to devise a season two. I enjoyed this and recommend it.

Recommending, fresh view

Highly recommend!

Sekunnit is describing the huge train accident and makes it very easy to follow the script. Script is quite slow-going, so as many other Finnish series often are, but still couldn't say this would've been boring. I don't know much about Safety Investigation Authority in Finland (OTKES) and how their work actually flows.

Instead traditional view of police, firemen or hospitals, choosing the view of OTKES is very refreshing and also something new.

Leena Pöysti is one of my favorite Finnish actresses and she is doing great job in this! Mikko Kauppila is also making good work, but I think his character was a bit unfinished by script - would really a son of traditional, religious family get tangled up with someone in relationship?
