Wow, these two TV series were a brilliant surprise for someone who normally doesn't watch sub titled stories.
Set initially in Denmark the story quickly revolves around various European countries and interaction between the different Police forces involved.
Very topical subjects including people trafficking, baby smuggling, illegal organ doner trafficking and various different continental mafia groups working together.
Apart from his personal loss and frustration. Top detective Rolf battles on pressuring the the 'higher ups' to investigate and resolve the various issues.
Some excellent acting from Rolf (Anders W. Berthelsen), his wife Maria (Johanne Louise Schmidt), Julita (Zofia Wichlacz) who loses her baby in the first series, Neel, Rolf's gung ho sidekick ( Olivia Joof Lewerissa) and the amazing Claire, French Police Investigator (Charlotte Rampling).
Gripping at times, I was hooked from the 1st episode.
Stopping me from giving 9 was the fact it wasn't always obvious that during some episodes we were actually going back a bit (i.e. A '3 months ago' would have maybe helped). There is room for a 3rd series, I hope that's on the cards.
