"We Come in Peace," which means something different when translated from Swedish, is a science fiction thriller, but I'm not entirely sold on it yet. The most significant issue with this series, as frequently happens now, seems to be that the plot forces its characters and their story into specific paths simply to reach a predetermined end. For instance, one of the central figures—a female scientist who has uncovered something about the alien blob hovering over Stockholm—acts in ways intended to create frustration for the viewers. I understand what they’re going for there. However, her actions don't seem to make much logical sense. Instead of demonstrating her important discovery, which practically communicates on its own, to police officers who are everywhere and could easily contact the proper authorities or just sharing it online so she can be reached, she chooses a series of both ordinary (like standing in a line of over 200 people while using her phone) and complicated methods. She tries to alert those in charge before they mistakenly perceive the blob’s supposedly harmless nature. The outcome feels artificial and, frankly, fabricated. It's disappointing because it has a strong cast, including Fares Fares, whose previous work in the Jussi Adler-Olsen Carl Morck crime thriller films I really enjoyed. The concept itself is also appealing—an alien life form unlike anything we might imagine. Ultimately, giving characters who are supposed to be smart actions that don't reflect intelligence can swiftly damage any trustworthiness a serious show might have. Sadly, that’s what's happening with "We Come in Peace." It’s rather uninspired overall.
