Made in Finland (2022– )
5/10
Starts OK, goes downhill

How baffling are the AI (?) written rave reviews, which are very short and not even 50 words. The box I'm writing in demands a minimum of 600 characters. There's something fishy going on! Anyway, to the series itself: it started as (what seemed to me) a comedy drama and it was quite fun. Then it got more and more bogged down in long-drawn-out legal and technical stuff, lightened just a little by the antics of Aki. Six episodes were far too many. Towards the end it melted down into patriotic Finnishness. I suspect that you need to be a Finn to appreciate all this - I expect there are lots of nuances closed to me as an outsider. It's also cheaply made. The 80s are there in the cars and technology, but they could have made much more of the era. The Berlin Wall falls, unmentioned, as far as I can recall. The scenes outside the American courthouse are just terrible. It's impossible to believe for a second that the actors ever left Finland in the making of this. This series was not really fit for export.
