I tend to avoid 10/10 reviews as they are in my opinion planted puff pieces or by people without critical faculties. This series is absorbing and the deliberate glacial pace gives a hint of the exhaustive nature of the true investigation. Two thing come to mind. Firstly, did the media interest lead to resources being allocated to this investigation at the expense of others? Also the character of Jens was a little disturbing. His seeming inability to relate to people hinted at possible autistic spectrum characteristics. He takes phone calls at any time or circumstance to the chagrin of anyone with him. His obsession with the dead precludes any meaningful connection with the living. Instead of waiting for a phone call he prefers to wait all night in person, missing important family events even though he's been told there won't be a result till morning. I would have welcomed a little more explanation of the prosecution case and the accused's explanation. How does stabbing a corpse 17 times, dismembering it, and throwing into the sea save the parent's pain, as he said? Worth watching though.
