Well, Denmark has its own issues with gangs, but really to such a degree that people are harassed and killed almost in the centre? The army mission related stuff is not novel as well, it has been a topic in several and catchier creations in Denmark... But the thrill in Kriger is somehow maintained and the events-scenes (although lopsided at times) take the viewer to the logical ending - but without any wow! Effect.
It seems to me that the primary goal of this Series was to provide Dar Salim, Danica Curcic and Lars Ranthe to perform protagonist roles (they have been usually cast into supporting roles). Here, Ranthe in the role of a gang leader was most to my liking, he has mostly performed positive/mild characters in other series.
So, Kriger is not a must see, but if you like to know about as much as Nordic crime series as possible, it is definitely not with a warning "Do not watch!" :)
