Deliver Me
What's the Story?
DELIVER ME is a gritty drama about young teens -- Bilal "Billy" Ali (Yasir Hassan) and Douglas "Dogge" Arnfeldt (Olle Strand) -- who get mixed up with a horrific ring of drug dealers in Stockholm, Sweden, and pay dearly for their choices. The families and friends who orbit the teens struggle for answers, safety, and justice against the young man responsible for the chaos and grief.
Is It Any Good?
This wrenching drama isn't for the faint of heart and it's definitely not for children. Parents of teen or tween children may struggle to watch Deliver Me; the graphic violence, fear, and anxiety the young teens face is intense. The story and acting are exceptional, but the subject matter can, at times, make this show a hard watch. The redeeming quality of Deliver Me is the opportunity to have a discussion with kids about drugs, guns, peer pressure, and secret-keeping.
