A real good miniseries
systersister26 November 2005
I just saw this mini-series and got hooked from the first frame. Its before it's time and deals with the research of a new engine that has all the potential to become the next "greener" generation of engines.(even if it's fiction the writers have seen the future). Of cause if such data comes out, a lot of automakers and oil-countries will be very nervous. A young girl who is working at scientist discover that somebody is committing industrial espionage against her firm. She decides to find out who it is. It's a very suspenseful thriller in the scientific community with a lots of twists and surprises. Real good entertainment.

A five part turkey.
Libra-414 February 1999
Okay- here we go again. Here is another one of those overlong unthrilling thrillers from SVT Drama and scriptwriters Lars Bill Lundholm and Thomas Borgström. The ingredients are all the same as the others, a plot that going nowhere, ideas stolen from much better productions, lines written on some weird version of the swedish language, actors that don't act, they just standing around like statues and talks like parrots, a director that don't doing anything and a photographer who works very hard to take nice pictures but don't cares what's in them. The so called story this time are about industrial espionage and a "green" car engine, but because the scriptwriters have a zero research approach to the whole subject, it desintegrates wery fast to a confusing mess. Characters and plot points appears from nowhere and then disappears whitout a trace. All the characters, from the irritating main character Anna (A wery anoying Gunilla Johansson.) to the stone faced hitman Brockman, are more or less stupid and they are doing stupid things like letting top secret information laying around in the wide open so it can be stolen by some other stupid character. I don't know why they keeping on doing those completely hopeless series (This time it looked like they decided to film the content of the scriptwriters garbage can.) but i hope they one day will learn what a thriller is. The ideas in the story was this time stolen from: Aliens, The Terminator, Universal Soldiers, The Godfather and some others.
