Der unwahrscheinliche Mörder

An interesting true crime story and a good job bringing it to life. The characters were well acted and the storyline flowed easily. Toward the end it gets a bit cluttered with multiple time lines being developed, but it works out.

If this shows us one thing, that it is impossible to trust eye witnesses. At least you should question most of them - so best way to know for sure is surveilance? Do we really want every inch of this planet to be filmed at all times? It would solve certain questions and problems ... on the other hand, forget about privace, not to mention that even that wouldn't be something that you could trust entirely (with hackers and software that can alter video footage and so forth).

All that aside (conspiracies be damned), the show goes on to bring us close to a murder mystery that some still may feel is not entirely solved. The main thing missing is the why - although if you google the case, you may be able to find an answer to that. But also just if you believe what this show is based on. It may be the most likely case (no pun intended) of what occured back then ... but who really knows? Still this is quite the intriguing if very slow burning retelling of what happened ... something that will excite certain people and not be enough for others.

The actors are great in this - and the subtle treatment works most of the time. You may feel like certain things are pointless, but such is life ... (un)like it or not.

The trailer doesn't do it justice.

I just wanted it just from the title. This was shockingly damn GOOD!! These cops dropped the ball from first hour! Continue to watch give excuses to the shooter. Dude was the idea killer but they just believed it had to be the CIA or some terrorist group. This is a slow drawn out good well written watch.

Absorbing and extremely well crafted theoretical scenario to the murder of the Swedish Prime Minister in 1986.

Not the Swedish enforcement agencies finest moment by any stretch. It beggars belief how they were side-tracked by conspiracy theories and not looking closer to home even if this scenario is wrong. It is extremely doubtful that it will ever be proven one way or the other.

It was a very good and interesting watch.

Very interesting if a little annoying with all the jumping around between timeframes. An amazing story of gross incompetence by the Swedish police in contrast with the detectives in The Bridge and The Killing. Saga Noren would have solved it by episode 4 !!

Glad I watched it though as it's an amazing story and the acting was excellent by the main characters. I do hope the Swedes have tightened up on security in the light of these events.
