the beck series are one of the earlier Swedish-cop-genre movies (yes these are technically movies) i watched each film so far and while some of the earlier movies did have some great stuff, such as dark and gritty atmosphere, suspenseful soundtrack and interesting story lines the second season had lost everything completely, the first season became a big hit and entered mainstream, so when they made the second season it became basically pg-13 family movies, the dark atmosphere was replaced with soap opera sets, the suspense soundtrack was replaced with generic and completely useless piano garbage, the story lines became dull and boring and its obvious they try to shove moral messages down our throats, having a moral message in a movie isn't wrong by any means, but when you force it, it breaks the illusion which is what happened here, but these movies makes money cause some people love bad movies, and Swedish film companies along with Germans finance about 100 000 movies of this kind in Sweden every month, it has gotten so far that no other movie genres exist in Swedish cinema anymore simply cause producers wanna make the same movie over and over again rather than trying something new and fresh, thus these movies have no more artistic value than a toilet roll (except maybe the first 2 or 3) so while i despise these movies i despise Swedish cinema even more, nowadays i only watch independent films from Sweden, i can recommend these movies to people who hate art in general, i recommend anyone who respects art to not support these movies, remember that supporting these movies kills Swedish cinema more and more. if you like these beck movies i highly recommend the works of directors Michael bay, ulli lommel and tommy wiseau, they are better artists than the beck writers/directors could ever dream of becoming
