@SteveM1956 Jan 12 Comfortably the worst scandi detective series I’ve seen. Lead character is totally unbelievable, surely nobody would work with him. If you want a good series, go for Bordertown. See more S T Oct 21 Excellent detective series. Season 1 is good but season 2 is disappointing, it starts with a young couple. See more 07/03/2022 He's more than a little annoying in a Columbo sort of way but the stories are well written and the underlying theme keeps it interesting. The second season is equally as good.
