Alter Ego

Let me preface by saying that I watched the English subtitled version. At the outset we are presented with a familiar old, bad-attitude detective, his hottie sidekick and the semi-genius criminal profiler that everyone resents. Sound familiar? It should, it's been done 100 times before...

What's good are the location shots of a huge, lively and colorful Carnival celebration in some picturesque town somewhere in Switzerland where the serial murders take place. Unfortunately that's the only interesting thing about this series. The story telling just seems to lack energy, too slow in development with clumsy plot misdirections. I had to bail after episode 3. I just didn't care about these characters.
