Bene Cumb Although I am not too keen on series-films dealing with supernatural phenomena, I like Scandinavian Noir, plus I got to know that the supernatural does not dominate here. So I decided to let it go... Well, the start was rather slow and arid and I recognised a few familiar actors only, but then it was some "kick" and I became curious what had and would really happen. To me, the episodes in the middle were the most interesting, with some twists and teasing endings in each episode, but the final ones became too slow, and the very ending was not gratifying either. There were also scenes where the references to the past and actual events remained vague, i.e. a kind of over- sophistication took place.As for the characters and performances, the leading ones did not impress me much (I was surprised to read later that Mia Skäringer is so famous in Sweden), but Michaela Thorsén as Viveka Wallström made me often giggle. Thus, Ängelby is not a conceptual creation, but if you like Swedish lifestyle and way of thinking, and some mysticism in a "plain" crime, then you spend good 9 hours of your life in front of TV. Most similar U.S. series are worse anyway...
To Uluru Looks better from a distance?Of the three previous reviews – the two Scandinavian reviewers were not at all keen but the one from the USA found a lot of good in it.Is it a national culture thing? I am from the UK but have visited Sweden a few times. The show could well be derivative drivel / hogwash / nonsense but there are few things in life that are truly new.It is however beautifully filmed with interesting characters and lifestyles. Am I intrigued because I want to immerse myself in what I imagine Swedish country life is like?
Richard (nightc1) After completing the 12 episode series, I found the show completely captivating to the point that I looked forward to each episode. The locations are all quite rich with detail and age which lends an air of reality to the show and characters that most shows just don't have. You won't find any sterile set locations here. The people are all quite exquisitely eccentric but in a way that makes sense by the end of the run. Then there is the main story. Everyone has their own unpredictable motivations. To me, unpredictability in story telling makes for a much more enjoyable experience and this is one of the few shows I couldn't guess the end, and I loved it for that. Still, unpredictability can come from bad places sometimes, but this isn't one of those. No, rather this is the type of show where it may be hard to guess... but it all makes some level of sense due to clues weaved into the show.So my recommendation is to give this a chance. Just don't go into it expecting some kind of horror story or something with monsters or other unrealistic things. It's firmly a drama rooted in reality with the threat of mysticism. I say "threat" because for the majority of the show you are left to decide what if anything to believe. You can be like me and stay completely grounded in reality and believe there is an explanation for everything... or buy into it all. Either way, I think the show wraps itself up quite nicely in an oddly satisfying manner.As an added bonus for people from other countries, there is interesting architecture, beautiful nature, and other visual treats to enjoy. When watching foreign shows myself, I tend to really get a kick out of seeing different ways of life. Like the oddity of doors that open outward. On American shows typically if a door opens outward its because of bad set design... here, it's the reality of the environment. Enjoy!
Stefanowich "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness."― Oscar WildeIn the case of Swedish TV-series Ängelby I would say it's more of an insult than flattery.The setup, right down to the main theme, is a total rip off from Twin Peaks. Same goes for the mystery man who doesn't speak. He is a copy of he dwarf who speaks backwards in Twin Peaks. But in Ängelby he can speak to flying elks (!).In the woods there is a mystery stone from space which sounds a lot like Stephen King's The Tommyknockers. Then we have the mystery kid that rides his bike in the woods. Why does he remind me of the mystery guy in Lost?There are more examples of "inspiration", or theft, from Stephen King, Twin Peaks, Lost and more. Fact is I have no problem with inspiration, but I do hate plagiarism, especially when it's uncredited.Besides the lame story Ängelby has some of the worst acting I've seen in a long time. In Sweden the government pays writers, directors, actors etc money for their "cultural work" which makes is a job you choose because you like it, not because you're good at it. The need to reform the Swedish system has never been clearer than with Ängelby.Life is short, stay clear of Ängelby. You don't need to thank me for that advice.
