Terrible plot, unrealistic and so much unnecessary plot twists. 20 minutes to leave to pool, pack and get to a boat, was so stupid. The huge waves colliding and then just disappearing, what was that about?!? Leaving an airport and being in a van then making it to a safe spot, again in only 20 minutes. Nuts. I did also doubt why Norway's government would be so invested in Canary Island volcanos to be monitoring it, but google does say they are a top holiday destination, so maybe! But the brother seems to have a totally unnecessary sub plot of romance with his colleague in the final minutes. Very weird series not worth watching.

Not an easy watch, I found it pretty harrowing in parts but also full of hope for how things could be. Sadly the people who could benefit most from a film like this likely wouldnt bother watching it! I enjoyed the cast, it seemed real and not wooden as some reviews suggest. The dialogue too felt natural rather than hammy. Understated brilliance! Also wanted just to make a connection with this film and the book the Beekeeper of Aleppo, a book to read if the migrant theme interests you.
