The first episode seems a bit boring. But ones you hooked, it's getting more interesting every minute.
I expected some sort of Rigoletto kind of end, but it is much better.
In short, it good and I like it!

Warning: Spoilers
This series runs at a slow temp, and sometimes in each section with a wide angle camera that doesn't work at all.
In general, the casting works well, especially Sylvester Byder (Kasper) and Morten Hee Andersen (Mike) playing really well.
It is a long way from working well series, BUT, I wish the season was a closed season, as I do not see the need for a season 2. Therefore, they could easily drop everything with the bad boys.
This year's big twist came in penultimate paragraphs. A twist that is currently working it is being implemented, but if you trace back and think about it, you will have little doubt as to whether it works exactly.
All in all, a good, slow series with a large person gallery. Even the most apparent evil character is three-dimensional. The only one to fall through except in the season finale Lene Maria Christensen (Bibi). Otherwise, the character gallery is built on some well-known Danish actors, but also some completely unknown. Everyone works, and one of the best is even one completely unknown, the aforementioned Sylvester.

Difficult viewing
markfranh13 May 2020
By "difficult", I mean that the scenes of extreme bullying by the villain of this series are very, very hard to watch. This isn't quite a "horror" film kind of series where you need to cover your eyes to watch bits of it but some of the scenes with the town bully are so hard to take in that you do find yourself squirming in your seat and wanting to look away. I'm afraid that by midway through episode 2, my wife and I just decided it wasn't at all pleasant so we decided not to put ourselves through any more of it.
Well made and with some name Danish actors who always shine and certainly well directed and filmed so absolutely no complaints on those scores.
It might be to some people's tastes (e.g. if you like horror genre - not that this is any way a horror series - perhaps this is for you), but it wasn't for us.

I'm a sucker for Danish movies and TV shows.

I really like the concept with a town bully that people are feed up with, and I'm a sucker for Danish movies and TV shows. But for some reason I never really fell in love with this. The middle episodes where kind of slow and no really likeable characters. Plus point for some twists.
Interesting and violent!

The Danes are masters in depicting angst - but something fell short here
BeneCumb5 May 2021
The benchmark is catchy and the reasons-why are well depicted from the beginning, but then the pace somewhat slackens and the number of by-lines and characters becomes to large, without providing any additional value to the course of events (e.g. As to Milad). But there are interesting twists and turns, the viewers can ponder on and over different ideas, and the very final scenes might hint that Season 2 will come as well.
But the performances are good (I like Lene Maria Christensen as Bibi and Morten Hee Andersen as Mike most) and unlike in most Danish series, it includes actors not constantly visible in thriller series.
Fred til lands is more than okay if you are familiar with Danish society and thinking, but I can hardly envisage any wider breakthrough here, even in e.g. Most parts of Europe.
And last but not least - the title. Both in Danish and English, it is confusing and uninviting.

Could have ben shorter, would have been better
paul2001sw-13 March 2021
When a hoodlum torments a community, a group of residents decide to kill him. But can they sink their own differences, arrange the murder, and live with themselves afterwards? It sounds like a good premise for a drama, but the problem with 'Deliver Us' is that it's all so obviously contrived: every participant has their own secrets, motives, and points of conflict with the other; at times it feels like an Agatha Christie plot, albeit one revealed in advance of the killing. I think the real problem here is the length; there's actually a good feature film probably buried in this plot, but not really eight hours of drama.
Didn't Deliver
crumpytv1 April 2021
There is a good cast with some some familiar faces; Lene Maria Christensen ( The Legacy/Dicte), Dar Salim (Dicte/Borgen/Trapped), Marijana Jankovic (Follow the Money/Norskov).
This started off well enough but the middle four episodes were just dull and overly long.
I had an idea as to possible scenarios for the storyline after episode 2, but they were better and more interesting than what transpired.
The series was way too long. The subplots, mainly relationships, were of no real interest and I started to realise that things would not come to a conculsion and that the writer had an eye for a second series. I would not be wasting any more time if it did come to fruition.
There were loads of inconstancies and holes in the plot.
If the local police (one man) could not deal with the villain why not take the issues to the Copenhagen police. What was the scar on Bibi's back all about?

Warning: Spoilers
5 Danes form a group to kill a sociopath, who may have killed someone's son. As the story develops we see that each and every one of them has serious issues of their own. One has sex with the guy; one allows a child to be beaten by him; one does nothing when his son is beaten twice, even though he's capable of beating up the sociopath; one has a son who hangs out with the sociopath, but never intervenes; one is having an affair with the fore mentioned guy.
What could go wrong?
Are they seriously going to another season? Just because the sociopath is still alive? Battered and bruised but alive!

The Acting🤔
robertwatson11 February 2021
Where did they get that Kasper actor 🤔 Some of the acting is poor. But idea is good I am on episode 5 hanging in to see what happens. There are better world dramas out there and I have watched quite a few so I rate this Average.
Audience roots for murder?
pedalingted3 September 2021
The "Mike" character is so awful, the audience quickly finds themselves rooting for murder? What does that say about us?! The only problem I have with this series is that none of the characters is likable. They are all either weak or bad people.
Addictive.
