Well worth watching. There are no car-chases. No fist-fights with slim women out-punching WWF fighters. No shootouts with bulletproof goodies. Hurray!
A well constructed thriller played out by good actors. Plenty of twists and turns. The heroine and her son are the standout characters but the supporting players set the scene well even if they are a bit inconsequential. It won't strain your brain cells and there a few small plot holes but, overall, the actors and screenplay produced a watchable series.

It's great to see a different take on things from the standard American method.
It's refreshing.
Sadly, the police are not portrayed as competent by any means and I would have sacked Eva in the first episode! But the main characters are developed and very like able and dislike able. For me to get frustrated with a character because another character is very terrible has to be some good writing. Shame a little more effort didn't go into the police side of the writing.
But, frankly, I'm very tired of the over worked US cop shows anyway.

An intelligent & intense thriller with a smorgasbord of emotions
StewPink20 October 2020
Greyzone explores the idea that between right and wrong, good and evil, there is a place of conflict and confusion where the wires cross and the lines blur. We are taken on a thrilling journey with Victoria that keeps us gripped to the edge of our seats and asks us a few moral questions along the way. Throughout the course of 10 episodes we follow the story from the perspectives of Eva and Jesper, two agents working to gather intelligence and Victoria, a single mother held hostage and forced to carry out a series of tasks that ultimately arm the terrorists with a working weapon.
The series packs enough twists and turns in to make full use of every instalment and the early episodes do a good job in moving the narrative forward quickly, without too much time spent setting things up. In the first scene, Eva finds herself in a shootout in the back of a lorry which leaves us with a dead border guard, a wounded runaway and an abandoned military grade missile. However, despite an action packed opening sequence the Hollywood shoot-outs and big budget chase scenes are used sparing throughout the series. Greyzone focuses less on the all-guns-blazing action thriller model and instead relies heavily on a brilliantly executed series of suspenseful twists and turns that keep us intensely engaged in the plight of each character. Although it didn't feel as if the action sequences were missing it would've been nice to see the legal speed limit broken occasionally during some of the slowest pursuits I've ever seen. But maybe that's a bit picky.
Perhaps the greatest weapon in this series is Birgitte Hjort Sørensen's performance as Victoria. She goes through it all, from incredibly believable panic attacks and raging outbursts of anger to moments of fragility, hopelessness and fear. Victoria experiences just about every emotion there is during her ordeal and Greyzone needs you to feel it all. Sörensen's outstanding ability to make you feel every emotion of her character is amazing and if you don't find your heart racing or your jaw dropped regularly throughout the series then you're probably not human.
Ardalan Esmaili co-stars as Victoria's captor, Ilyad and rises to meet the monumental challenge of matching Sørensen's performance in some of the most moving and memorable scenes. It is their chemistry that defines the success of the series and his portrayal of an angry and conflicted character with a believable and touching backstory turns what could've been a simple and predictable story into one that asks questions of its audience and gives us something that feels fresh, exciting and unpredictable.
There are some seemingly pointless sidesteps into additional storylines involving Victoria's ex-husband and mother, Eva's daughter, Jesper's previous relations and even a half-hearted stab at exposing some high-level corruption but all of that felt largely meaningless and the series might've benefited from trimming some of the fat. That said, some of it served to paint a more rounded picture of each character and although it did slow the pace of things a little, I suppose it gave us a chance to steel ourselves for the next big moment.
All in all, prepare for an intelligent and intense thriller that explores espionage, extremism and Stockholm syndrome with a smorgasbord of emotions to boot.

Absolutely fantastic
jneiberger-115 December 2020
I finished the third season of Borgen and then decided to watch this. I'm glad I did because it's superb. The plot, acting and cinematography are all top notch. It had me on the edge of my seat many times. I very highly recommend this show to anyone who likes tense thrillers with depth to them.
On a side note, I think Ardalan Esmaili is the new George Clooney.

BRAVO! and Virgil Katring-Rasmussen is Great!
zekeblack5 July 2018
While this starts as any regular Thriller might-- it exceeds in expectations.
Several strong Female leads.
One fantastic, incredible kid! Virgil Katring-Rasmussen
He did such a natural job... rare in the world of child actors.
Yes, there were plotlines, expected, predictable, yet enough uniqueness to
keep attention strong.
Even at the end, it doesn't end with High-Fives. It reflects on impact on participants.
One helluva great Mom, (and kid) -- perfect.
Entertaining, but with some wishful thinking and plot holes
BeneCumb6 January 2019
Global terrorism and mass killings in bigger Western cities have alas become annual reality, so topical films and series may excite additional interest, they are less "sci-fi" than decades ago. On the other hand, technology and surveillance skills have developed, so it is harder to create additional thrill or twists by using wow!-findings or ideas later - they seem fictitious, airy-fairy...
The latter is at times present in Greyzone as well, particularly for them who are eager viewers of (Scandinavian) crime dramas - like me. I am neither agent nor policeman, but methods used / using a scientist in such operations seem rather questionable. True, when setting this aside, the script goes on smoothly, the characters/performances (particularly Birgitte Hjort Sørensen and Tova Magnusson) are pleasant, and the inclusion of different nations/languages provides additional value. But still, having seen dozens of similar series, I find Gråzon far above average, but not conceptual, and viewers outside Northern Europe may find it even less valuable.

A futuristic spy-thriller created by a Swedish/Danish collaboration.
DimitrisPassas-TapTheLine27 December 2019
"Greyzone" (original title: "Gråzon") is a Swedish/Danish collaboration, one that gave us the iconic Bron/Broen TV series in the recent past, and features an intriguing espionage-thriller type storyline which unravels in the ten episodes of Season 1. The companies C More (Sweden) and TV2 (Denmark) were among the distributors of the show which casts popular actors from both countries such as Birgitte Hjort Sørensen ("Borgen", "3 Things"), Tova Magnusson ("Bron/Broen", "The Stockholm Syndrome"), Ardalan Esmaili ("The Charmer", "Domino"), Christopher Wollter ("Quicksand", "Modus"), and many others. The show was written by four screenwriters whose cooperation created a fast-moving plot, but also developed characters with whom the audience identifies and cares about, especially for the two protagonists, Victoria and Iyad.
Victoria is a high-ranking employer in a company called SparrowTech and her work is to create drones for various uses. When she gives a lecture in Germany on SparrowTech's new model drone, Victoria will meet again a former acquaintance from her university years in Lund, a town in the Northernmost parts of Sweden. The person she meets is Iyad, a Syrian refugee in Sweden, who came to the country when he was ten years old to escape from the war in his home country. Iyad will soon prove to be not who and what he claims to be and Victoria will become his hostage, under a threat against her family and more specifically against her 6-year-old son, Oskar. Victoria will be forced to spy on her own company and steal important information and devices from it, thus betraying all her colleagues and friends.
The pacing at which the plot's unfolding is fast and the show builds suspense on an episode basis as in each one Victoria is called to complete a mission, most usually having to do with stealing stuff from her work. At the same time. the audience watches the evolution of the relationship between Victoria and Iyad which while it begins as a cliche perpetrator-hostage. it gradually begins to develop and evolve to something that makes the two characters to come closer and know each other better. This part, the character-oriented-, of "Greyzone" is also what makes the show stand out from all the similar Scandinavian crime TV shows that are being produced at full-speed nowadays. Both actors, Birgitte Hjort Sørensen and Ardalan Esmaili succeed in giving an honest and truthful performance that makes the two protagonists seem like three-dimensional human beings rather than cardboard characters. As we watch Victoria and Iyad treating each other with more and more respect we also begin to understand what will happen in the finale of the show which, though appropriate in terms of storyline, is kind of anti-climactic and foreseeable, thus leaving the audience somehow disappointed.
I think that I read somewhere on the Web that a second season is developing and will air in the following year. It would be interesting to see if there is more to the story and main characters. There are many loose ends left in the ending, all of them having to do with the characters' personal sub-plots, though none concerning the story per se. In the end, we have all the answers we need as the audience and this is a major accomplishment for the show's creators. Personally, I would like to see what happens next, so I will be watching the first episodes of Season 2 whenever they will be released.

An insult to your time an intelligence
jesper-131 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Only the first of six episodes are actually worth watching, unless you enjoy the most incompetent team of Danish and Swedish intelligence agents ever put together.
Everything is politically correct, boring and implausible. At this point everybody, even the terrorist, has accepted that the heroine hostage will not try to escape or reach out for help.
In episode six she had every opportunity to walk out the back door of the kindergarten while the terrorist checks for suspicious agents leaving his hostages alone in a position to call out for help. But as she by now is secretly working with the incompetent intelligence agencies, everything is just business as usual and when they get back to the main filming location, her apartment, he leaves his phone, the main communication tool to the terrorist masterminds, unattended so she can put a tracking device in it.
The two murders done by terrorists on Danish soil are never investigated (why bother), apparently there are no clues/video of the car(s) that twice magically appeared to either help a co-conspirator to escape or prevent our heroines escape, even though this would lead straight to the terrorist master minds. At any point in time our heroine could just grab her son, make a run for it, the master minds would magically appear and could be apprehended in a trap set by the police. That would instantly lead to apprehension of terrorists and prevent them from ever getting a drone, leaving only the actual warhead to deal with.
But no. The incompetent intelligence team has a plan that involves our heroine actually creating a controller for the terrorists' drone so it can deliver the warhead to its destination while they wait for the heroine to find out about her captor's family history.
It's insultingly stupid, it drags on with no interesting development, and two locations are reused over and over. Boring.

A gripping Danish/Swedish thriller
Tweekums20 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
As this joint Swedish/Danish thriller opens a lorry is stopped in the Port of Gothenburg; a shootout follows. Later when it is searched a bomb is found; one of two that had been stolen from a NATO base in Greece. It is assumed the second bomb is in Sweden or Denmark. Eva Forsberg of SÄPO, the Swedish Security Service, heads to Copenhagen to liaise her Danish counterparts. Meanwhile Victoria Rahbek, a Danish software engineer, who works for SparrowSat; a Swedish company specialising in drone technology as is part of a team working on the BAT; a next generation drone flight controller. Is kidnapped by former university classmate Iyad Adi Kassar. Using her son as leverage tries to force her to steal the BAT. She has no idea what he wants it for; she just knows that if she refuses her son will be harmed... all of this happens in the first couple of episodes, mostly the first! From then on Victoria is forced to make more and more choices that test her personal morality and the security forces work to find out who is behind the theft of the bombs and what the plan to use the remaining bomb for.
This thriller got off to an exciting start that introduced the situation and sets the tension rising. Once Victoria and her son have been kidnapped things get even tenser; the fact that they are held in her flat only adds to the sense of claustrophobia. Even when Victoria goes out she knows she is being watched and any wrong move will put her son in danger. Birgitte Hjort Sørensen impresses as Victoria; making the viewer feel the moral dilemmas she is being put through. Ardalan Esmaili is equally solid as Iyad; a character who isn't quite as unsympathetic as he initially appears but is still menacing. The rest of the cast are solid too. The story moves at a good pace and kept me gripped throughout. Towards the end things get a little melodramatic but not excessively so. Overall an exciting thriller that I'd recommend to fans of the genre.
These comments are based on watching the series in Danish/Swedish with English subtitles.

[9.1] Grey no-flight zone
cjonesas3 January 2021
Greyzone, an underrated deep Thriller Drama with Nordic vibes and a very interesting premise, well-developed and exploring nicely the Stockholm syndrome on the way. Its strength is its acting and story.
The spectrum of emotions shown by Birgitte Hjort Sørensen was just outstanding. A show that deserves a lot more reviews and recognition.
The depth and attention to details of Scandinavian series never cease to amaze me.
- (+) Suspenseful and thrilling screenplay and storyline's plots. Some scenes had you on the edge of your seat.
- (+) Character-driven series with awesome emotional moments.
- (+) Wonderful and believable acting by Victoria (Birgitte Hjort Sørensen) and Iyad (Ardalan Esmaili) with nice touches of chemistry between them, Pretty good job from all the supporting cast; Also liked the character of Jesper (Joachim Fjelstrup) very much.
- (+) Very good filming and beautiful aerial shots.
- (+-) Good score. Could have been more intense.

Excellent, well acted, gripping series with strong, believable characters.
The only distraction for me was that Iyad (Ardalan Esmaili) is the splitting
image of Virat Kohli, the Indian cricket captain, so I often imagined him playing
the role.
Enjoyable

You can't build a house without foundations and you can't build the plant on a hole.
imdb-7019115 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The German intelligence service informs the Swedish intelligence service that a terrorist organisation is moving matériel into Sweden. What do the Swedes do? Send a single intelligence officer, aided by a local policeman to intercept the shipment. That's right, one special and the local plod to intercept a terrorist shipment.
In the course of the inspection the copper gets a bullet in the head from a person or persons unknown while the driver legs it merrily away, running up the road having been shot "through and through" by the agent. That's right, happily running away despite a bullet hole from front to back.
This occurs in a dockyard, with fences all around, bullets flying about, in the middle of a terrorist incident and yet still the wounded driver manages to escape capture. That's right, in a dockyard, secure fences, security everywhere with a terrorist alert ongoing, and a bullet hole in him, he manages to escape.
And this is only the beginning.
By episode two we have had a SWAT team perform a raid on premises where they believe the suspect to be hiding. But, oh!, they forget to lift the carpet and find the trap door leading downstairs to where the wounded driver is hiding. And, oh!, they're so busy bursting in through the front door waving their guns at every one they forgot to put somebody out back, so when that devious, shot "through and through" suspect climbs out of the back window and runs like an olympic sprinter through the Swedish streets there is no one there to catch him.
Next, we have a young mother being coerced into helping another member of the terrorist cell by threats against her son, who is on holiday with his father in Paris. She blithely walks into her secret research facility and steals a USB sticks worth of information, pointedly ignoring every opportunity that presents itself to call out for help without the terrorist knowing. That's right, endless opportunities to blow the gaff without endangering herself or her son and she does nothing.
It turns out that her son is to be returned from Paris, by the French police, because his father has had an accident. She cooperates in bringing the boy back from police custody so that the terrorist can have them both within his power. Yes, again, that's right. She facilitates the removal of her son from police custody in Paris to her terrorist captor's custody in Copenhagen.
I can't go on. It's too painful.
How can you build anything with any credibility on this? The acting may be fine, the dialogue can be good, the atmospherics and settings may be just the ticket,
I could exhaust a thesaurus on synonyms for drivel in describing this farrago of nonsense but I couldn't do it justice. I simply use the word that my grandmother used when she was confronted by twaddle like this.
It's utter squit. I'm sure you'll know what she was talking about.
Excellent!

It needed more than ten episodes as it ran through the event too fast.
Nine stars instead of ten because it was never explained who Tove was, and her relationship to Eva.

Anxiety-inducing
ninjapig-4401210 May 2021
You won't know what you've signed up for once you start watching this series. It might seem like an ordinary crime drama in the first episodes, but it evolves into a psychological thriller with oppressing suspense leaving you with chewed off fingernails. It's hard not to get emotionally invested and once you do this series becomes very anxious to watch but also very rewarding. The subject mater is something new and it's done very well here. In essence it's about the human side of captivity and abuse and the emotional dilemmas that ensue.
Of course the series ruins itself a little by not letting go of some of the cliches of the nordic crime thrillers. The cops are the worst characters except from Jesper who is pretty good. The "main cop" Eva is absolute trash. She must have been really bad in the script but she is also poorly played by Tova Magnusson. Jespers background is a bit interesting but they also try to give Eva a story outside of the case which feels extremely superfluous. She is not interesting at all and I very much dislike her. However, this doesn't matter because the main characters are Victoria and Iyad and they are played very well by their actors. This show is absolutely carried by Birgitte Hjort Sørensen in the role as Victoria. She gives a fantastic performance. There isn't much else to say. Don't write this off as just another nordic crime, because it's deeper than that. Amazing series. Watch it!

A lot of sheep out there
phelim-murnion18 September 2021
E01, the main police character goes to make an arrest of a terrorist suspect. Alone, gets in to shootout, no backup, no uniforms. Terrorist escapes with gun wound.
E02, informant helps police get to safe house of suspect. He escapes, picked up in black van, no police on street no cordon. Laughably, police officer then calls for a cordon.
At one point a senior mil Intel officer tings the main cop to tell her that the warhead explosive (that they found) is (I kid you not) highly explosive. Pure farce!
So bad it is actually comical. But what is serious is that this rubbish can attract 9/10 and 10/10 reviews on this site. Why bother writing intelligent stories when there are so many brain dead sheep out there?

Nice try, but way too much plot holes
albert-balvers20 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
It is a nice try to make something different from the typical spionage thrillers from Hollywood or the USA in general. But there are so many plot holes, it spoils the fun to watch the series. Just to mention a few: The heroin has an important job as department leader, but seems to be able to not be present in her office and she has no normal meetings whatsoever. During the first episodes she has numerous possibilities to flee with her son, but she seems to be paralyzed. Her son is not speaking about the strange man in the house at his kindergarten? The secret service investigators are really card board characters and in some cases truly incompetent. So once again, nice try, good concept, but too much plot holes.
