I'm hooked as well. It's a damn good yarn, a gripping detective story, on top of the mood, the wildness. The beautiful landscape and all that. Go to Full Review

Ben W @Username618 08/24/2024 No option to delete my review. Put the stars in the middle. sorry. Today was Saturday 14th June 2025ce. See more Anita F @RT48915707 08/28/2023 This series just keeps getting better. The storylines are compelling and I just can't wait to see what's in store for next season. See more Ittay1 S @Ittay11 03/01/2020 Like previous seasons, but more so being a 6-part epic, this season stops short of being a complete masterpiece, due to some extremely unlikely coincidences at the base of its plot, only two of which (as to avoid spoiling) are 1) that so much major crime could actually occur or be linked to an otherwise secluded and peaceful place as the Shetland Islands, and 2) that it would still be handled by the tiny local police force of such a location. Fortunately, by the time these unlikely narrative ends are traversed at the very end, we will have absorbed so much beauty, authenticity and love-ability - of the places, scenes, music, storytelling, acting and above all the characters and their relationships - that these shortcomings are easily forgivable and barely affect the overall experience.
