Arne Dahl: Dunkelziffer

Somewhere you can almost detect a faint interesting story, but as in many Swedish productions you get non-convincingly delivered dialogue with bad timing, odd body language and clearly fake feelings. This time with cliche stacked upon cliche as well.

Everything is underlined with how you're supposed feel about the subject of these two episodes. Which would be totally unnecessary if the authors trusted their story to shine a light on it all. Clearly they didn't feel they could trust themselves and we can all see why.

Everyone is caricature, also the police characters. The only one standing out and delivering something real is Shanti Rooney as Internal Affairs Police Officer Paul Hjelm. Vitali and Arvidsson really can do better.

A great disappointment.
