A newspaper journalist revealing fraud in a large multinational company, finds his family involved, ruining his career, family relations, and entangles him in a following mystery.
The decade-long international craze for Scandinavian crime thrillers seems to reach a tipping point with this overstuffed and flatulent boondoggle of a mini-series from Norway. &quot;Mammon&quot; would like to be &quot;The Bridge,&quot; leading us down one false path after another to spectacular cliff-hangers and shocking revelations, but the writers are too lazy to come up with plausible reasons for all this frantic action. I hate it when I invest 6 hours in a mini-series, expecting that &quot;all will be revealed&quot; at the end, and the end comes, and I can only shake my head at all the nonsense I&#39;ve watched and all the gaping holes in the plot. It&#39;s almost as if no single person actually read the whole script!<br/><br/>Scene for scene, the show is just engaging enough to watch, but even at this level some of the red herrings are too obvious and the repeated attempts at suspense too repetitious. (OMG! Is that car following us? No, just a false alarm. No, wait, it WAS following us!)<br/><br/>Spoiler: One example of the ludicrous lengths to which the writers will go simply to obtain that spooky &quot;The Bridge&quot; feeling: the package received by the dead man&#39;s brother and his wife seven years after his death, containing directions to a time and place and a wet suit, because the dead man knew that at exactly that place, and exactly that day, another death would occur in exactly that way. Amazing! But in the end, this elaborate plot twist turns out to make NO SENSE WHATSOEVER (like much of the plot); it&#39;s assumed that we viewers are so stupid we will have forgotten this pivotal scene by the end and won&#39;t care that there is no explanation.<br/><br/>They tried to make &quot;The Bridge,&quot; but this bridge went nowhere.
Mammon (which is biblical for material wealth or money) is advanced mix of crime, corruption, religion, rituals, media criticism and bad childhoods. Sounds as a lot? Well it is, and this series is a deep woven mystery, which is almost impossible to read before you the last episode.<br/><br/>That is of course positive in a world of a TV-series and films which are all too like. This differs from most, due to it being a mystery involving media, politicians and old school time secret networks.<br/><br/>We follow a newspaper journalist, Peter Verås, which is reporting on a case which entangles him way more than is good for the job, the paper, his family and friends. And he can&#39;t grasp what it is about, but it goes right down the core of his own family.<br/><br/>Some will love this due to it&#39;s complexity, others will have a hard struggle with understanding the complicated plot. This series has been a great success even before the first episode was screened, and sold to the folds of countries eager to get more of Nordic noir. Therefore the plans for a second season is already on the way, which once more will follow the journalist, I guess. This series goes right into that category, though it&#39;s more a mystery than a crime story.<br/><br/>The series was immensely popular when it was aired, having a 40 percent of the total marked when being aired, but was criticized for having advanced surround sound, making it difficult to grasp all being said on a small TV-set, but great on a surround system. As dubbed, or with subtitles, this will not be a problem outside Norway. From the third episode they decided to subtitle the series even on Norwegian TV.<br/><br/>It was also criticized for being unrealistic due to how a Norwegian independent newspaper would react to be scrutinized by the investigative police, but this came more out of pride of journalistic integrity than reality. I&#39;m afraid the integrity isn&#39;t that strong, even in an otherwise low corruption nation as Norway. <br/><br/>I both liked it, and didn&#39;t, but I just had to watch the series through, and didn&#39;t have a clue who was responsible.<br/><br/>Exciting, yes, but easy to understand, no! Interesting due to the ethic dilemmas, yes, but easy to make a second season, no!
