      Darío Doallo Clarín Outstanding performances. [Full review in Spanish] May 28, 2019 Full Review Jaime Fa de Lucas Culturamas It's a pity that a series with such an interesting premise and such a well-built atmosphere ends up disappointing. [Full review in Spanish] Apr 29, 2019 Full Review Joel Keller Decider ...Chilling scenes might bring a little more realism to what's an interesting crime drama, which will only make it better.

      Gianvito A It was very intense but sometimes it felt flat but overall is good Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Wolfgang G Quicksand ist eine Kriminalserie, nach dem Roman "Im Traum kannst du nicht lügen" von Malin Persson Giolito… Maja, eine Studentin in Stockholm, wird nach einer Tragödie an ihrer Schule wegen Mordes vor Gericht gestellt… Eine gute Adaption des Romans… Mit einer gut ausgearbeiteten Geschichte, die aber stellenweise langsamer verläuft als gewöhnlich… Eine nahe perfekte Inszenierung, die zum Nachteil vorhersehbar ist… Dagegen ist die schauspielerische Leistung der Darsteller überdurchschnittlich ausgefallen… Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/21/23 Full Review jeff g Taut, stressful, convincing drama told in the courtroom and in flashbacks of memories of the teen girl accused of a school shooting. Fine performances by the young leads. And the Swedish criminal procedure adds both unfamiliar flavor and novel rhetorical devices to a sad, believable, well paced storyline. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/23 Full Review London H very well down series, the story was put together really well even though I doubt in real life the ending would go that way Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/25/23 Full Review Lukas K Quicksand is based on MalinPersson Giolito's novel of the same name and is about a mass shooting at a school in Stockholm's most affluent suburb, whereupon an 18-year-old student is suspected of murder. However, much more terrible things are revealed in the subsequent investigations. Quicksand is the first Swedish Netflix production. "Quicksand" tells an interesting story that doesn't seem predictable or boring at all, for the whole series I asked myself what the case was here. Unfortunately, some actors cut a worse figure than others, but you can look past that. A really surprisingly good mini-series! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/10/23 Full Review Diane M So tired of Netflix and all these immigration series. They paint all immigrants to be so innocent. I could tell you real stories of immigrants.... One I know was an Olympic runner who became a scam artist and went to Sing Sing for 8 years. Another became a drunk and repeatedly got arrested, insulted his beautiful wife repeatedly, and kept her up all night screaming about his past. Yet another sold stolen credit card numbers on 42nd Street, as he worked taxis at night. Don't get me started! I have a book of stories to tell about the REAL immigrants. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
