Review of DNA

DNA (I) (2019– )
7/10
Not bad, but somewhat over-sophisticated and with several cliches
12 March 2021
Denmark-Poland is like Sweden-Latvia or Finland-Estonia where, since 1990ies, contradiction between West and East, static and dynamic, wealth and poverty, etc. have been in contact and sometimes colliding... DNA tells us similar story where "smart criminals" from East using assistance from West have organised a network bringing misery and unknowing to hundreds of families.

The beginning of the Series is intense, but then some unnecessary scenes and characters appear, plus I began to suspect a certain person too soon as a wrongdoer. Anders W. Berthelsen, the main star, is good, but not among the finest Danish contemporary performers, and is often overshadowed by e.g. Nicolas Bro and Charlotte Rampling. On the other hand, international cast and events occurring in several countries is definitely a virtue preventing stagnation and adding diversity (sometimes with over-sophistication though).

The final solution of the issues began to reveal a bit too soon... "Only" 7 points from me as I am able to name more than dozen far more versatile series.
