![]() ![]() I’ll give Equinox 6 Moons.‘Equinox’ is a Danish thriller series that follows Astrid (Danica Curcic), a 30-ish-year-old journalist and a recently separated mother of one, who gets brought back to her childhood, and broken soul, by a disturbing call. Unfortunately, some aspects of the ending and the lack of better characters didn’t allow the show to fly higher. This first season of Equinox was really admirable for the most part. By the way, the scenes on the island are the best looking, especially the camera movements and effects in some key moments. It has a smooth look, and even when things are messy and gritty, it’s concise. The cinematography was absolutely gorgeous and compelling. He’s very gentle, humane, but there’s always something suspicious about him. He was a teacher of the missing highschoolers, who comes up during Astrid’s investigation. That was a little annoying, but in general, he a kind and soothing figure.Īnother one I liked was Henrik (played by Alexandre Willaume). However, later he becomes the trope of men in horror movies, who never believe in anything. Dennis (played by Lars Brygmann) is a great supporting father for the girls, the complete opposite of their mother. She was neglected by her mother, and now she’s neglecting her son for almost the same reason. And the relationship with her mother and son. There’s a parallel between her journey and Ida’s. The most compelling thing about her is the link with other characters. We can say she’s a very persistent woman, but that’s about it regarding her qualities. She’s frail-looking, so others expect her to be afraid and unenthusiastic but she always shows bravery and leadership.Īstrid is not the best of the characters. The characters individually are not great, though, and the one I like the most was Ida. 1999 also has the great Viola Martinsen, who plays the 9-year-old Astrid, and besides her young age, she doesn’t disappoint at all. She’s believable, fits the character completely, and made the scenes set in 1999 even better. So, when I saw her outstanding performance in Equinox, it was a pleasant surprise. ![]() For now, I’ll only say her role is not as prominent. I’ll talk more about her role in Nobel when I review it. I read that she’s best known for the series The Mist, which I haven’t watched yet, so I only knew her from the Norwegian series Nobel. I can’t be more specific because of spoilers.Ī strong point, among my favorites, is the acting, especially Danica Curicic’s. The problem is not with the mystery but with some arcs that were left hanging. There were already some things that didn’t make sense throughout the show, but the conclusion is where the series disappointed me plotwise. Some very disturbing things occur in the series, enhancing this feeling. The mood of the series is usually very sinister and sad, including the aesthetics of it. I loved the eerie atmosphere of the show. And inserting supernatural and folkloric elements, like the myth of the Goddess Ostara. I enjoyed how the series dealt with natural, human issues, like family relationships. ![]() And everything uncovered by an investigative work of a journalist deeply involved with the case, I really love investigative journalism stories. Equinox brings us an intriguing and dark mystery that kept me engage and curious until the very end. Only four people didn’t disappear, her friends Jakob (played by August Carter), Amelia (played by Fanny Bornedal), Falke (played by Ask Truelsen), and the bus driver Torben (played by Peder Holm Johansen).Īfter the call, Astrid goes back to Copenhagen, where everything took place, to further investigate and, maybe, finally find out what actually happened to her sister and the rest of the kids. Ida literally vanished from a bus together with her high school colleagues during the celebration of their graduation. He claims to be Jakob, one of the event’s survivors. One day a caller on the radio says he has information about the disappearance of her sister, Ida (played by Karoline Hamm), almost two decades before. Here we go!Īstrid (played by Danica Curcic) lives in a little Danish town where she works in a radio program. Today we’ll talk about the first season of Equinox, beginning with a plot summary, through the review, and finishing with a symbolic Rating. Hello, there!
