I do not mind when some famous characters of one country are "implanted in" an environment of another one - I would like to focus on the chemistry between them, performances and cases and if one of those mentioned are less interesting than others it does not necessarily involve that the total outcome is mediocre of even bad.
As Åland is very beautiful place, it easily becomes a supporting character, and the creators of Agatha Christies Hjerson have realised that and used its full potential. True, some crimes may seem too harsh (yet simple) as Åland and safety are synonyms, but the inclusion of ferry and Stockholm do not let the scenes become airy-fairy. Sven Hjerson (Johan Rheborg) and Klara Sandberg (Hana Alström) are definitely odd personalities worth watching, plus there are several supporting characters providing memorable moments.
When the first episodes-cases were accomplished in a dashing and daring manner promising several seasons, the particularly the last case seemed as a hasty roundup with several loose ends (funds dried up? Viewing figures dropped? ...?). Thus, the total Season 1 is rather uneven and not at the same level as e.g. Innan vi dör (same production team). But still - recommended to all fond of peculiar, yet intelligent characters and beautiful sceneries.
