The TV series Hildur, based on Satu Rämö’s popular books, has been very well received in Finland and has been praised for its ambitious execution and strong overall picture. The director of the series is Tinna Hrafnsdóttir.
In the review of Helsingin Sanomat, the work receives a particularly positive review, describing it as a “well-executed entertainment package”, which manages to combine suspense and an accessible narrative in an effective way. At the same time, actors are praised for their interpretation and presentation of characters, which is considered to strengthen the overall impression of the work, but the title role in the episodes goes to Ebba Katrín Finnsdóttir.
Rýnir Iltalehti gives the series the highest rating or five stars. Among other things, it is pointed out that the tension keeps the audience captivated and that the production is of high quality in every respect. It is noted that this is a large-scale and ambitious television production that has reached the audience.
Kulttuuritoimitus’ review also highlights the strong visual vision and atmosphere of the TV series. It says that the series is “dark and sharp in presentation”, which supports the suspense and creates a special feel.
Various reviewers point out that the TV adaptation deviates somewhat from the books, but this does not seem to have dampened the overall assessment of critics. On the contrary, the harmony in the Finnish coverage indicates that Hildi has managed to establish itself as a quality and impressive series that appeals to a wide audience.
