Johan Falk: Season 1

great series, i have an all region free player. initially just ordered bc joel kinnaman was in the series (whom I adore), however i honestly think he did very well in this and the killing series, snabbacash movies was just poorly written and not believable. The series focuses on how informants are used and the cop and the informants life which was very interesting and plausible given the storyline with regards to how much money the city gives them (which is hardly anything) for putting their life and reputation at risk, then again the frank wagner character chose the wrong people to hang out with and really pays the consequences of keeping bad company. It makes a lot of sense, if you take gangs in america sometimes the people who aren't in the actual gang but associated with the gang are actually worse than the gang member because they can get away with more. I wish joel kinnaman would have

The Johan Falk series is is full of great action and noticeable tension. Jakob Eklund reminds me a bit of a younger Harrison Ford.This series is different than many others in that it really moves along, with no weakness's to speak of. It also has great production values.

Already had the three movies which could be considered as a prequel to Season 1 except for the fact that Season 1 takes place 5 years after where the monies left off. In the movies at the end he is leaving his hometown to go fight crime with INTERPOL(?) but in season one he has returned to his hometown and it is never really clear if he is still a part of the INTERPOL organization or not. Other than that its a pretty good series.

Very good writing and almost better than "The Johan Falk Trilogy" available on Amazon; see my review. This is Falk 5 years later . He's not Clint Eastwood but who is ?

Just couldn't get into this series. didn't care about the characters, mediocre to poor script/acting

while the storylines were quite good, it was;nt gritty enough for me, and jakob ekland looks a big sap; does;nt come across as a tough guy to me.regards, bob hedger

I like all the Nordic productions I have viewed on DVD. But Johan Falk is my favorite - both Season 1 and the Trilogy.

The best European crime series I have seen in years. There's action, there's drama, the stories are gripping. Joel Kinnaman as Frank Wagner does a phenomenal job. I highly recommend it!

Wish some one would release the rest of the episodes with English subtitles....

ok...trying to be bit to complicated for its own good
