Thought this was a really good, solid Danish drama with some excellent acting and cinematography.
They managed to keep up the mystery right until the penultimate episode when the reveal was made. Did it catch me off guard? Yes, I'll be honest it did. I was really expecting it to be someone closer to home or that dodgy looking aide to the minister. Unfortunately, like many series, once you'd finally found out who had done it, it couldn't keep up the suspense and it descended into the standard lone cop with no back-up goes into killer's house cliche.
I think it was also pretty obvious by the third or fourth episode the girl wasn't dead, so it all ended up being too neatly wrapped up compared to the way it started.
Apart from the usual dubious police protocol, I was amazed at the number of times the officers at the end were hit by spanners and other implements and just kept getting back up. I'm also not convinced a battery operated medical saw would cut through those bars.
Overall though, a good watch and I'd recommend it.
