Lisa K @RT81562030 Oct 24, 2026 This is the second watch through for me. I keep WAITING for the next season. This was a well conceived and developed story. An actual believable plot! The acting is superb. The characters are a delight to love and hate and the dialogue meaningful, and at times hysterical. A joy to invest time in. I keep practicing how to say ‘K’ AR rrrrrrr LL lol See more Cindy R @RT52401373 Oct 18, 2026 Absolute perfection I bing watch it in one day. I have no criticism but there better be a season 2! See more Olivia H @Livvy_h Sep 24, 2026 It differs quite a bit from the books, both in setting and characters, but that doesn’t hurt it at all. It keeps the spirit of the source material while standing firmly on its own. An engaging crime series with a solid cast and enough atmosphere to keep things interesting throughout. See more J P @NotZeppoMarx Sep 20, 2026 The plot is a bit convoluted. The acting is good. The dialogue is good. It kept me interested. Without doubt the absolutely ugliest cast ever assembled. If this is representative of the Scots, how dreadful. Can't they at least have their teeth cleaned? See more Tom W @TexOracle Sep 7, 2026 Very good on all levels. 5 star acting, characters, story, direction. For Season 2 it will be hard to strike so solidly on story again, with this show wasn’t constantly (correctly) guessing plot development or challenging reality blunders, was top notch. Season 2 probably in the can already, but would hope they include more local flavor, culture, scenery. Surprised at how good this show was, standing above the mass of streaming available today. Lead actor did a spectacular job, and Macdonald provided a nice touch by the end. Enough bright notes and charm to not feel overly heavy like so many Scandinavian crime shows that become mired in dreary slogs. The Syrian character … 5 stars, didn’t feel like a woke immigrant indoctrination, especially since he was a "legal immigrant", really good character and actor. Could go on and on about quality elements, great show. See more Pearlie B @RT569043311622 Sep 5, 2026 I'd only seen the Danish film adaptations of the first two books before now, but they are so good I wasn't sure if the English speaking version could compete. Thankfully, enough years have passed and the main characters of this tv version are well cast. See more Read all reviews
