Rooty T May 17 This is my favorite series of all time. The acting is superb, the casting perfect, the story development and writing perfect and complex and the directing phenomenal. This series is the standard by which I judge all other series. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of every episode. The music arrangement was wonderful as well; that Swedish lullaby is so touching and fit perfectly in the series. I don't speak Swedish but no matter - the Nordic Noirs are the best. I can't imagine an American version being half this good. Thank you to all the artists involved in this series - it's a classic. See more Paul D @LVHothead 02/28/2024 Terrific series. The Swedish version of Slow Horses. See more John C 02/20/2023 Great show. Actors are fantastic, story is unique to a degree. See more 12/10/2020 This is one of the best crime thrillers I have seen in a long time. The concept of putting a team of mismatched cops together to solve an old murder case didn't grab me at first but I am glad I gave it a chance. There are moments of great tension as the story unfolds and we find out that the original investigation was flawed thereby threatening to embarrass people in high places. The lead detective doggedly goes after the killer and some inspirational work from the team brings it all to a head. There are moments of unexpected humour which give you a chance to stop holding your breath and take in what is going on. After I had watched the series I found out that the lead actor, who is quite famous in Sweden, is also a comedian. What a performance he gives, along with many others. I enjoyed this so much that I will have to watch it again to appreciate the small touches I missed first time around. Highly recommended. See more 12/10/2020 I loved this Swedish murder mystery that contains dark humor with some mind-twisting moments. Messed up minds in the snow! Just what I needed for quarantine. See more 06/25/2020 This is a nice police drama that has a little more weight to it, because itapparently is based on actual events. Though I'm sure that the usual "dramatic license"was used in telling the story. The acting is good, and the characters are interesting. The plotallowed me to become invested in the characters, which is often not the case in series likethis one. Also, the plot is straight forward, without a lot of distracting and unnecessary subplots.As I write this, I believe a second season is in production. The English language dubbing is also very good.
