Bekännelsen

I certainly wanted to know how (if) the murderer would be caught. And it was a murder, have no doubt about that.

None of the main characters, except the poor wife, is particularly appealing. The cops are incompetent or dishonourable, the murderer is a nasty sociopath and his sidekick is an amiable nincompoop. The one cop with any gumption is the female detective whose superior denigrates her at every turn.

The settings are so typically, rurally Swedish - I love them. I know Sweden and have lived in Finland including a Swedish-speaking part and the landscapes and village shops and facilities remind me so much of those time. It's absolutely authentic.

The series kept tension right up to the end. There is a sickening plot twist right before the ending that meant that the criminals might get away with their misdeeds. I'll leave it to viewers to see if they do or not.

At three hours, this was just right. More would have been over egging the plot. I don't regret having watched at all.
