But the acting is by far the worst of her mysteries put on air. Others who liken it to a prime-time soap opera with a murder thrown in for good measure have hit it spot on.

To view a better representation of Läckberg's genre-and Scandi Noir in general-I recommend watching the 2012-2013 television series, Fjällbackamord. Real detective work-and a plus: real acting in this series is what is missing from the Lyckoviken attempt.

That being said, if you are a Scandophile, as I am, then watching the show for the background and nuances of the Swedish language, would not make it a total waste of time! (Back-handed compliment, I realize...)

I really like Camilla Läckbergs books but this serie is an unrealistic story with an acting you can wish morefor. With an other director and more time for movierecording this can probably be better, but now- it's speedrecording and the actors are stiff an unnatutal. Even those who has a great acting in other movies and series.

Some of the actors are good and it did have potential...

But when you produce and write a series please make it believable. Policethat are too young to be where they are, storielines that simply are pathetic, and stuff happening that does not make any sence what so ever. Failure in script with what's actually happening in many scenes. It's actually quite embarrassing and painful to watch.

Yes it's a tv-series and not reality of course, but it's a tv series about life, crime and people.

Camilla Läckberg knows better but she totally lost her magic since she must have given green light on all the episode scripts. Swedish television can be so much better then this. Do not waste your time, better off to be cancelled.

A series that have many similarities with the old time soap opera like Vita lögner. But somewhat better since the plot have a somewhat more focused theme (a murder).

The acting is ok but subpar from a singer from Eurovision acting a plumber in the series and he really needs to do some acting preparation before he does a scene. Also an actress returning from the states in the show always looks like she is acting. When this two are in same scene it is nearly comical and the only thing you think about is that they are acting. I hope both can do better than this.

I never write reviews, but I have to with this series.. I think it's one of the worst shows I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot - good and bad. Most of the actors are mediocre, some are good, some plain awful. You know when you eat something sour and it starts hurting in your jaw? Well, this show will give you that many times over. The worst part? I watched 2 seasons, and that's just embarrassing.. So, if you think you are in for some good, Swedish crime: Look further- this ain't it! (I love Swedish crimeseries, BTW.)
