An absolute waste of money

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The downsides are Dominic Monaghan, a serious miscast and way out of his depth, and the slipping between subtitled Swedish and un-subtitled English which, at times, is barely audible. The upside is a seriously involving mystery about serial killings set against some wonderful Swedish backdrops. It may not be the best detective story you'll ever see but it beats the pants off of most TV fodder these days. And, aside from Mr Monaghan, the acting is excellent across the board with plenty of sub-plot action for those who like such things.Worth a viewing of at least the first two episodes to let it suck you in, which it will do in spades full.

Like most of the Users reviewing The 100 code, I too have not much to offer in kindness as a review.Dominic Monaghan is pure awful - his accent & character - but is that down to the writers trying casting him as a male equivalent of Saga?Then there's the plot - totally transparent & narratives that so obviously borrow from other type programs like Hannibal (the murderer calling it in to the resident psycho Hellstrom), The Bridge & The Killing. Not to mention the idiot sidekick dicks story arc - possibly to prove that not all Swedes have a stick up their arse 24/7 - more cheese?Michael Nyqvist totally carries this show & as another reviewer pointed out whenever Monaghan opens his mouth - its dreadful - you really do wanna switch off!! As for Conley (Clownly) character's Paddywhackery - ugh, " Ma Da was from Gawlwaay - Jaysus - a fisherman" - never has any actor been so bad @ being Oirish since Tom " Is It You Shannon? " Cruise in Far & Away or as we call it in Ireland - Feck Off & Don't Come Back!!So I give 2 star rating - for Michael Nyqvist & the beautiful Swedish landscape.....Approach @ your own peril!!!

I was not going to write a review but seeing some bad ones I have to add mine. This series is only second best to Broen, which is forever top1, especially the 3rd series. The atmosphere, the faded, dark colors and Ms Helin are just The Best. Here, the Swedish actors are - again - very good, unlike the American guy who tells his lines like he was reading them. But that's nothing new, most of the time American "B" actors sound better, dubbed by a real actor of the language the film is dubbed in. Anyway, the series start relatively slow, but it picks up amazingly around ep5 and concludes.... wow. The script, how the tension is built up, how you start worrying for some characters although you may not like them make it a must watch.

"The 100 Code" is extremely addictive to watch - Michael Nyqvist and Dominic Monaghan plays two much different types of police investigators and they are both well playing and convincing.The plot is getting better and better for each episode and filled with surprising outcomes."The 100 Code" rates in top five, between "Beck" and "Maria Wern" and is refreshing news in excellent Swedish crime TV-series.More of this please !This is strongly recommendable. I look forward to the (hopefully) coming seasons of "The 100 Code".
