I'm a big fan of Scandinavian thriller an crime series, but every now and then I get disappointed. On the positive: as usual all scenes are well filmed and the dialogues are not to bad. The amount of action is enough and not overdone and the acting is for sure above average. Kriger (Warrior) is disappointing, even if you may be entertained if you're not too critical.
On the downside: the motives and characters are very shallow during this series. Some events and developments are either plain stupid or simply make no sense. The plot is clear from almost the start, so there are hardly any surprises in this very simple scenario.
SPOILERS BELOW Not from this world: a detective 'hires' a former soldier as an undercover to bring some bad guy down. The operation is more or less illegal, but she gets away with it. The guy says yes out of some feeling of guilt, knowing he will not be paid, and is basically on his won. Shallow motive.
They are having a hard time catching the bad guy red handed. However at a certain point the undercover witnesses the bad guy killing someone. You'd say that's enough to get him, but no, not in this case. Stupid.
An about 10 year old kid gets voluntarily in a car with the undercover (he is a friend) and refuses to stay at home. Why? What's the point? A possible hostage? Sure, but this turns out to be a totally pointless development in the plot.
All in all, it's not a total waste of you're time, but the Danish normally perform much better.
