Powerful

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Why do producers insist on taking a four episode concept and extending it to 13 episodes?

The only reason I watched this was because of Monaghan, who can be equally humane and hilarious given the right role. Slow-moving, bad dialogue (Splitting between Swedish and English was annoying), and just not interesting. But the real killer was Dominic's attempts at different American accents. I could have bought him as a cop, but the queasy New Yawker act was just brutal. It was kind of like if Kaley Cuoco tried to play an English woman: It was cute for the first ten minutes but then just became painfully awkward. Stick to sci-fi and comedy, Dom.

Michael Nyqvist carries the entire show and he is the only reason I continued to watch beyond the first episode. I gave it three more stars than I would have, had it not been for his tremendous and realistic acting achievement, despite everyone around him acting like weird, awkward robots. I wanted to give him ten stars, but the show is truly awful and the rating needs to reflect that.I am sad to say I don't really have many positive things to say about anything or anyone involved in this project other than Michael Nyqvist.When they decided to make a show in Sweden, why did they not hire local people for the production? As a person who has lived in Stockholm my entire life, it was ridiculous how it was shot and how they altered environments instead of working with what the city actually looks like. The approach was very Americanized and "Hollywood", which makes me wonder why they even wanted to shoot in in Sweden or use a bunch of Swedish dialogue, since it seems to have been exclusively aimed at an American audience.I feel like they tried to ride the coat tails of popular Scandinavian shows and somehow replicate the mood and the success, but along with other shows that have failed to do this, they lacked understanding of what makes those shows what they are. For a good example of a successful international production look at Bron, which is amazing partly because it respects the culture and behaviours of the various characters portrayed in the show - Swedish people act like Swedes, Danish people act like Danes and the exteriors as well as interiors mirror the way people actually live in respective places, making it very organic and believable. Everything that 100 Code was not.P.S. It might have worked if they had a plot twist where it turned out that most of the characters where aliens or androids, since it would explain why most people apart from Mikael and hos daughter were being so stiff, emotionless and weird all the time.. D.S.

as previous reviews with low rating already stated, 100% agree with them. the plot is over the top plain weird, bridge was a bit like that but they pulled it of thanks to the interesting main characters and great acting. but this was not accomplished in this show. four stars for the place where it was produced and the nice try.
