"Classy series, very much draws you in, keeps you intrigued until the very end. You worry for each character, even the negative. Definitely worth watching," — icelbi.

"Great series, really enjoyed it. The denouement is unexpected, but brought to it very well. All the strings came together at one point," — Rielsey.

"Such a great series, stumbled upon it by accident and watched it in one day. I don't understand why it's not in the top?" — gavryusssha.

"Beforeigners"

Drama, crime, sci-fi | 4 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons | 2019-2022

Aliens from three time periods enter the modern world: the Stone Age, the Viking Age, and the late 19th century. The guests can't even explain how they got to our time — they don't remember anything.

However, Alfhildr, a woman from the 11th century, still manages to get a job with the police, where, together with a local detective, she starts investigating the murder of a woman from the Stone Age.

"It's a great series, why isn't it talked about enough? First of all, an interesting and unforgotten theme. Usually people in movies and series in the past get into the past and try to adapt there, and here it's the other way around. Plus it's all interestingly shown, yes, it's all an allusion to modern refugees and migrants, but here it's all interestingly presented," — EmilD.

"The series is not another slag, it's an interesting one that you want to immerse yourself in. There's an idea and a plot, an idea that hasn't been nailed down and is very well deployed. I would say that the plot was unfolded by crumbs, not giving everything at once, and this is good, it keeps at the screen. Not the first Scandinavian series I've been excited about," — Antonio.

"Awesome series, it was interesting enough that I couldn't tear myself away after watching it all in an evening. Lovingly and competently filmed, as I think. All the characters are cool, screensavers at the beginning of the series really like, and in general with everything here is good. I hope the sequel won't be too long in coming," — Shikisen_Hishune.

"This dorama was a real headshot for me. I was freaking out every half an episode that even my coworkers started wondering about the plot of the dorama (watched it at work, lol). I can't understand how they could come up with all this. Awesome dorama, I will definitely revisit it someday. That rare type of series, when in one episode you laugh like a horse, roar, get angry and can't come to your senses for another hour after watching it," — icelbi.

"God, what a great dorama, now it's on the top of my list, just the best. It's got a gorgeous twist to it and spun it out no worse. Even on the last episode it didn't feel like it was the end. Usually the last episodes try to unravel everything quickly, but here it's still gradual and very interesting." — ChandlerLi.

"Sometimes while watching this dorama it seemed, if there was no fantasy with reapers, as a regular detective it would look very decent too. Very, very well-written plot, not a moment of peace! Constantly intrigued by something," — AliceBale.

"In just a couple of episodes I realized that this show has charisma and its own magic, and wonderful characters. When I started watching, I didn't realize there were only 12 episodes... Here I was very upset that it was so little. Very ironic, tragic and, of course, very very very interesting narration,"  — UTKA_BLACK.

"I liked the series very much: simple, filmed well, special effects on a good level. Very pleased with the play of actors, all played harmoniously, interesting. It is a pity that there is no continuation," — oakhmedova.

"Very atmospheric! The scriptwriter is stoned in a good way, the actors played great, sometimes it was noticeable that, unfortunately, the budget was not enough to realize to the fullest, but on the other hand, some chamber warmth lamplight fit in very well. Great series," — poohlaya.

"Beautiful, dark, insanely atmospheric, clinging thing! Its "dragging" I also do not consider a minus - imho, it is such a special Scandinavian pulling and meditative ;)" — Raven_Kaosa.

"The first season was much better and ended so well. In the second one, the storylines were overdone and some of the characters didn't get much time," — Its_only_me.

"I was pleased with the lack of romantic line and its development (who needs - all for themselves saw and thought up :)) And so much attention paid to the detective part. I rarely watch doramas and even more rarely find something good to like so much, but this one is definitely one of my favorites now," — corporaltoshka.

"Given the atmosphere of the dorama, I didn't expect it to have such a good ending. It was interesting, moderately exciting. The love line didn't seem to have been started, though hints were given, and it was closed so piquantly," — Parapraxis.

"5/5 for me, liked the actors, Sang Yeon played the demon well and showed that demonically attractive smile)," — Rai_Zap.
