The Breakthrough Review 2025 Tv Show Series Cast Crew Online
The only reason I felt compelled to make this review was because of how highly rated this seemed to be for absolutely no reason.
It follows all the same tropes of similar series. Without distinction. In fact all they did beyond that was add the exact trope to other characters and pray that it would connect with the audience. Personally the moment I saw the “busy detective ends up neglecting his family” trope occur I sighed heavily. This is nothing but a cheap way to get viewers interested in the main character and his goals. We have to be able to move on from this comically overused format. I don’t care if it’s based on a real story, at that point at least thin it out or don’t mention it. All it does is insult the viewer.
It might be the first time where I’ve watched a 4 episode series where I thought they were actively trying to stretch it out. There was that little substance. In my opinion this should’ve been made into an hour long movie instead.
The only interesting part of the series was the focus on genealogy. I would preferred it if they’d put more emphasis on that. The very few scenes where Per is allowed to give detailed explanations of the methodology was the most fascinating part by far. Besides that they could’ve shown more investigations into different characters, more of a look into until he came to be excluded, the on the ground investigative methods that were initially used to attempt to find the killer.. If this investigation was as flawless as they made it out to be, with the main character supposedly being able to perfectly recall what was written inside each document folder they had on the case, why wouldn’t they take even one minute to go over it?
The most insight anyone is ever going to get into.murder investigations is by going over the exact evidence that was gathered and how they did it. If you really want the audience to connect with the character you show them what he’s capable of and where all his efforts are. That’s what people are here for, not half assed drama.
