An absolutely brilliantly done TV show! It has humour, intrigue and fascinating storyline. It looks like this show was made for an old film. The actors do a great job. My favourite was Reiulf, he was brilliant and hilarious.

The best thing for me about this TV show was the connection to real events, and Gro Harlem Bruntland's career was dealt with in a delightfully personal way. I hope Gro has seen the show and liked it. I find it hard to see how such a thing could be made any more interesting than Makta was. I don't know if this has anything to do with me being from Finland, but the humour in the series was really funny and subtle, maybe even unintentional in some situations. Because I have lived through that time, I remember many things like the music of Bobbysocks from the early 1980's that played in the fifth episode of the second season. It brought back good memories.

More like this, please.

Although the film depicts things that happened in the 1930s, it is more relevant in the 2020s than you might think. The film starts off a little confusing at first. Sometimes we jumped between different times and the characters in the film remained distant. The script and direction improved the further the film progressed. The staging and filming were quality work. The historical perspective was well conveyed in this film. I recommend watching even if you don't like agent movies. There are many other dimensions in this movie, which is why I liked the film a lot. In the same time, the movie reminds us the world we live. The has not much progress happened after 1930's.

It's is hard to believe that movies like Falles leaves are produced in 2020's. It's so unique and perfectly acted movie. The movie proves the fact that the content in movies matters. Not marketing nor special effects.

The movie, like other Aki Kaurismäki movies are entire own world. People are without rush, there is no glory or other waste. I would save the movie atmosphere is a bit surrealistic, that makes it fascinating to watch. Some times the movie is time trip, but some times Fallen leaves show the ugly faces of modern society.

It contains also some sense of humor without jokes. I like this movie a lot, but I am middle aged man. How does the movie work with younger people? For me, the movie good and inspiring experience.

I have watched the first two seasons of this TV-detective series. Potsdam is nice place for filming such TV crime series like SOKO Potsdam.

The plots of the episodes varies a lot, the stories are basically interesting almost in every episode. What I like is the dialogue between the detectives. They bring some freshness to traditional male-leaded TV-shows in crime scene.

Unlike other German TV-detectives, there is not so much showing when the actors are driving their cars. And the cars are not too fancy. Old Fiat Punto is just charming!

Maybe there is too much personal things of detectives included in the episodes.

This TV-detective series is carefully produced and filmed. The actors are good. The problem is the plot that follows the same track in most of the episodes:

• first there is a murder in the beginning
• then some more people will be murdered later
• the motives of murders are based on cases, where somebody has died earlier
• that is the reason why people are murdered in the episodes.

And methods for murders are too complex, it's not believable to the story. Viewers are able to guess the motive in each episode in advance that the cause of the murder is someone who died before. You don't even need to turn on the TV for that.

I would improve the show by inventing some new, like different motives and keeping methods for murders more simply.
