Apart from the fact that being a mother according to Jordskott means loosing your mind and act constantly without rationality there is definitely a lack of figures with whom you are able to sympathize. For several seasons the evil murderer it definitely the best figure. I don't feel motivated to actually think about that thingy, but i feel motivated to warn you: Don't waste that much time, really much to much time, consuming this nerve crushing product. Look instead at the walls of your room and enjoy the silence. Or speak with the plants in your room, that is surely more interesting and less annoying. Your really want to burn down that forest and the village...

I am someone who loves Scandinavia and folklore. What do I love more? Scandinavian folklore.Jordskott, which begins as an apparently regular polar, builds its interesting fantasy storyline progressively as you learn to know the characters and their motivations. The different stories of the different characters relate pretty seamlessly to each other, and the show manages to build tension progressively and intelligently. The acting is also very convincing and coherent.The visuals are gorgeous, with a good choice of colors and clever shooting locations, especially for the scenes taking place in the forest, and even the transitions between two major scenes.The folkloric/fantastic part of the show is relatively good, even though it would have been nice to actually see more of the supernatural creatures, and not just their powers or repercussions on the plot. The characters are well designed and somewhat lovable, even though most of them, at some point, happen to make bad decisions.The closing scene, with Josefine finally returning to where she "belongs", is a very moving moment of the show, and ends the first season beautifully.A second season would obviously be welcome, notably so that we could maybe learn more about the creatures that used to live (and still live) in the forest, such as Muns, but also so that we can discover who exactly are the people being the organization Vaas is a part of.In a nutshell, the show illustrates magnificently the strength of Scandinavian series, with emotion, gorgeous cinematography, immersive and well integrated CGI, coherent characters, and an really interesting and not so common storyline.Jordskott's atmosphere and general tone reminded me a bit of Real Humans, not regarding the story but rather the overall development and the feeling it left me dealing with when it was over.I definitely recommend this show and I hope a second season will come.

Jordskott, at first I thought it was a detective drama and my flatmate was very quick to dismiss it because of the subtitles. My advice, stick with it! I continued to watch it and found myself watching each episode twice.Yes, it's a detective drama, but it's also a supernatural/fantasy story, one with a slightly disturbing underlying story - fantastic filming and acting, with a story that keeps you guessing right till the end.Well worth a watch, the story doesn't drag and it'll open you up to more European dramas - you've just got to learn to read and watch at the same time :)

Anyone who has walked in Swedish forests get the feeling of the raw power of nature. Wild wolves, Moose (bigger than horses), Bears, but also the sheer dimensions. You can find forests where there is no road for 40km.... deadly, mysterious and beautiful... seas of trees.In other words, walk though a fores in the brecon beacons or Scotland, and you know you can find your way out. Try that in Sweden and you will probably die. Swedish forests can be scarily big; and mysterious.I was told about this show by the gf, to keep my Swedish going. I am so glad I started watching this. Starts off as a police drama, but pretty soon, things get strange. You have to pay attention to it. Clues are littered from the start pointing at the dark under-plot.Excellent work. och tack att jag kunde ova min svenska!
