Pros and Cons (2018– ) User Reviews

Good acting, script, plot and direction

[CtlAltDel · 8/10 · 19 October 2020]

This series is really worth it. The leads are very well cast, as is the support. It has the right mix of tension and humour. You know there will be twists and turns but they're not completely predictable. You really get to know these people and their personalities. Watch it with pleasure!

Pros & Cons season 1

[mmuggi · 6/10 · 27 March 2021]

The first season of Pros & Cons is okay, without being exelent in any way. Lena Maria Christensen is usually not an actress I like, but she is allowed to work in this series, and it suits her well. The daughter, played by Emma B. Marott, is also a nice surprise.

The series is a parody of the American scams / heist movies and series, with a twinkle in the eye. It is a slightly constructed scam, which possesses a number of clichés. Fortunately, there are also a few good surprises in between, and I was glad that they continued with a shared focus on how a family life is connected in a con artists world.

6 out of 10.

Great

[Sara_Tor · 7/10 · 9 May 2021]

This show was so fun to watch, and I highly recommend it if you are looking for something light and quirky. The capers if this dysfunctional family of con artists are a new, and amusing, twist on the heist genre.

excellent danish drama

Very good series to binge watch ! How come there's not many review ? More people needs to watch this ! The storyline are well paced, tense with humor. Outstanding cast performance, they are so good ! I really love the lead male cast, Lars Ranthe, what a solid performance ! Well worth watching , great Danish production, I hopes more season to come !

Season 2

[mmuggi · 6/10 · 28 May 2021]

Season two of Pros & Cons is in many ways the same as season 1. A bigger and more far-fetched coup, and more screentime for Emma B. Marrot as Esther, whitch is a good thing.

This time it is the beauty industry that gets hit, which works really well in the first few episodes, with a well-playing Lene Maria Christensen, but it dies out as the season continues.

The series continues in the same mill, and it has shown all it can do by now.

Great!

[petereldov · 9/10 · 3 October 2020]

Watch it! Ranthje and Christensen play wonderfull. All great.

Best Series in a long time

[ydechristopher · 10/10 · 20 December 2020]

I have to say that this is truly the most intense and interesting series I've seen in a long time. The shift between everyday life and trying to rob for millions of dollars at the same time. Wow

Danish Winner

[crumpytv · 9/10 · 18 June 2021]

Every episode (series 1) was full of suspense, without being intense.

A scam/sting/hustle thriller with tongue in cheek, but still gripping.

A good (familiar) cast keeps the pace throughout.

Mediocre acting, weak script, superfluous supporting characters

[tomchr9 · 1/10 · 21 August 2021]

First episode in season 1 showed promise. Initially, Lars Ranthe, Lene Maria Christensen and Lotte Andersen seemed like they could rise above the bad characteristics that has always plauged danish tv-series, but no. It the same mediocre and artificial line delivery and bland script we have seen countless times before in danish films.

Supporting characters are pointless, having zero personality.

Emma B. Marott playing the teenage daugther Esther comes across as mind-numbingly annoying and vacuous.

Greetings from New York State

Absoluetly outstanding acting and really enjoyable

A really good intrigue. Surprising, fun

[a_akerblom · 8/10 · 24 January 2021]

Family life is tough. Dad is between jobs, wife wants a new dish washer, kids want iPads. Dad installs a new dish washer himself, only to wake up in an ocean of water, life's too hard. When offered to do a heist with an old acquaintance he says yes, life's too hard. Exciting series with suspense and lots of humour.

Just love this show and can't wait for season 3

[geoffreyawhite · 9/10 · 25 March 2021]

Wonderful series, great acting, storyline is fun and the actors also look like they're having a great time.

Outstanding and binge worthy

[nickjevan · 10/10 · 1 January 2021]

This series make you addicted from the first episode. You just want more and more after each episode ends. Great acting, very well made manus, and they keep you interested all the way from start to end. Best danish series that I have ever seen.

... viewing just once -w-full-comprehension ... impressive

[bjarias · 8/10 · 11 August 2021]

... this is an exceptional-series ... but if you are able to follow all of it from the first viewing out ... more power 2u.

Loved it!

[ScoogieJay · 10/10 · 26 March 2021]

This show had me hooked from the start. Great cast, plenty of humour and twists and turns I wasn't expecting. It's well worth a look, highly recommended.

Funny and creative plot

[teamschaefergps · 10/10 · 22 February 2021]

The story keeps surprising you and the end game constantly changes. Funny and creative. This time a more international plot, like saving the world from a 3rd world war.
