So far, this's an interesting story. I like watching shows from Denmark, so naturally this was a must. The setting's a typical odd, yet boring town with a dark secret of some sort. The main character is Emma. She's the odd woman out, the one who doesn't feel like she fits in.
A series of events leads her to question the truth about the meteor that fell in her town and put it on the map as a tourist attraction. Slowly and slowly, the web begins to unravel the further down she goes. As she investigates more, she comes across a group also skeptical about the meteor and it's origins.
They reluctantly team up as they try to find the truth behind their town as well as the shady people that have been all of a sudden been popping up.
As I said before, there're some interesting ideas, however, I feel like they're not developed enough. In fact, several things about the show feel unfinished; mainly the editing and motives of the main characters. Despite them wanting to find the "truth", how they go about it varies and they often butt heads with each other. I feel like there're so many scenes that were cut short, thus ruining the pacing and possibly omitting important details.
As for the characters, Emma's the only one I can really get behind. She seems more realistic, the most fleshed-out. She doesn't always do the right thing, she says whatever she wants and isn't afraid to make waves if she feels it's necessary. She also sleeps around a bit which's a bit jarring. Her and her girlfriend who thinks she's a vampiress, have a unique relationship. They're the only ones that feel genuine.
The rest? Not so much.
When they come together to share what they've learned, Emma often tries to explain to them what she saw, but gets shot down by the guy in the wheelchair (who's already a sketchy figure anyway). When she is given a chance to speak up, she's so fed up that she usually storms out. That's the cycle that goes on between them, and it's infuriating. They literally turn on each other a few times in the course of the first season. I feel like this drama all could've been avoided had they just listened to her.
I won't give away the twist at the end, but it's pretty good. One thing I find strange is that he father's never mentioned.
I hope there's a second season, because this show has potential. Should that happen, maybe it'll clear up some of he questions we probably all have. Especially after the cliffhanger.
If you like Danish-media and Sci-fi, I'd say check it out.
