In essence the events of Warrior allow both CC and Louise to also move forwards. It is he who tells CC how it is really in the eyes of his mother. In many ways the small boy is the one most able to let his father’s memory remain but to move forwards with his life. There are some truly excellent scenes with Peter’s young son, who often verbalises his mother’s “hatred” and her blame of CC for his father’s death. This is the story of his personal redemption. The death of Peter is a source of deep sorrow, guilt and regret.ĬC is a man who is clearly suffering from PTSD, who replays the events that lead to the death of his comrade and best friend, events for which he blames himself entirely. The main drive for both CC and Louise in this story is their overwhelming guilt. However, what Warrior does very well is to explore the themes of guilt, family, loyalty and power. The jackets in this looked far too new, just for starters. I felt at the time, and still do, that Dogs of Berlin explores the biker gang theme more successfully.

The first time I saw this show was close to watching Dogs of Berlin (German, Netflix) I would not recommend watching these closely together like that. The story being set within a rarely explored part of the Danish underworld, that of the biker gangs was an instant appeal as I’m a big fan of Sons of Anarchy and Mayans M.C. Christensen is excellent as the immensely dangerous, not very bright but intuitive Røde. Young Marco Ilsø is very impressive in this as the wildly naive and out of his depth Mads. Lars Ranthe never disappoints and he is excellent as the biker gang leader Tom, even though I do feel that this character suffers from being underwritten. His emotional range is impressive and the inner conflicts his character has come through subtly in his performance.ĭanica Curcic also impressed me greatly playing the part of Louise again with a genuine, believable performance. He also looks mighty fine in (and out of) military uniform and a leather biker vest (however I digress). Dar Salim is cast perfectly in the role of CC as he has the physical presence required to be both ex-military and on the “wrong side” of the law. The cast in this include some of the best talent in Denmark, and that was certainly a big draw.

I had watched Warrior sometime back shortly after it arrived on Netflix in 2018, but I figured it was worth returning to in order to write this review.
