I hope that this terrific TV series will be widely shown in France one of these days; after all, it was produced by Studio Canal. I won't talk of the qualities of this show, the other comments have already done it. But thta's the first time in hostage films history that I see hostage takers wait for FOUR or EIGHT days to get the ransom they asked for. The really FIRST damn time. Four hours would have been more believable. That's my own opinion.
I really loved the Iraki descent character, whom I have already seen in another Dannish crime movie - DARKLAND - which I commented. His character is here so moving, and SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS I did not expect him to die so soon. The hostage scheme is perfect for a TV show, especially when it comes to focus on hostages and takers personnalities. See CASE DE PAPEL or this other series which I also commented last year, and showing Irak vets pulling a bank robbery - KILLPOINT.
