I've known about this series for a while, but only decided to watch it yesterday. That turned out to be a good decision, as I could not stop watching. The series had me on edge, wanting to know more, and it had me quite moved at several points.
After finishing it, I started on the English remake. I have to say I prefer this Norwegian original so far.
Anyway, I also wanted to comment on someone elses review about the last episode and how it was "implausible" that "people can be revived after numerous minutes trapped under water and after being shot so badly that blood is pumping out of their mouth."
In the series they said the person was trapped under water for 7 minutes. The water was cold, and people can survive for much longer than 7 minutes in cold water. I googled and saw mentions of up to 42 minutes for some Italian boy. I also googled the gunshot, and apparently chances of suriviving being shot in a lung are quite good, especially if you get medical treatment in a timely manner, which the person in question did.
So while I do agree that there story has some weaknesses elsewhere, I don't see any of these things being implausible. All in all I highly recommend this series.
