Review of Oxen

Oxen (2023)
8/10
Gripping and knotty character-driven thriller
17 January 2024
Really enjoyed the character dynamics, particularly the triangle of Oxen, Margrethe and the Intelligence Chief. Great performance from the latter and Borgen's Birgitte Hjort Sørenson is irresistible as the unpredictable villain. Oxen himself plays it low key but you can tell there's a lot going on under the surface as he struggles with his trauma while trying to mend fences with his son..

It's basically a solid thriller series with intrigue and some nice set pieces, although the main antagonists feel a bit weak at times. Also the locations are beautiful. Hope they make a season 2 as I believe there's plenty more in the book series.
