Detektiven från Beledweyne

Honestly I feel that this show is unconventional. Because as everyone mentioned above the female lead character Tilda is obnoxious or fool with good for nothing stance and the somalian guy ibrahin is somewhat restraint yet smart policeman running from his past and this collaboration makes things quite interesting. I loved the cinematography and acting of everyone but I am hoping to see a season 2 of it and if it ends up I would like to see more of Tilda and her sister rivalry being in spotlight and so does her colleague Mats antics to find the truth about Tilda and ibrahin. Waiting for it. ...

This was a lovely series full of Swedish whimsy. Yes, there were dark strands but these didn't intrude into the ridiculousnrss of it all. Situations were impossible as were the detective and prosecutorial work. Somehow it didn't matter.

It was a smart piece of writing to make the false reasons for seeking asylum match the real reason for Ibraahin's flight. I'd actually guessed this would turn out to be the case and it was a glimpse of a world far from liberal Sweden, a country that, nonetheless, sends refugees back to their fates.

There were three cases over the six episodes. That was nicely rounded and allowed time for some development amongst the ongoing themes and strands.

Season two is clearly coming. I shall be looking out for it.

I've only watched 2 episodes. But I like the premise and I hope it gets better. Tilda the lead character is utterly unlikable. This is never a good thing but I but I think they want to make her funny. She is totally unaware of her truly obnoxious personality or she just doesn't care. Some of the background information provided explains why she is the way she is - overbearing distant father who was continuously disappointed in her, super competitive passive-aggressive sister, who takes pleasure in reminding Tilda of her failures, dead, idealized mother, to whom Tilda bears a starting resemblance- it's all there. Tilda is entitled, over-priviledged and ruthless in her vanity, heedless of other people and a Kardashian level attention seeker. Nobody likes her and it's easy to see why.

Ibrahim, on the other hand, it immediately sympathetic. If other reviewers say he's boring, they're not really paying attention because he lives in his head and it is fascinating to watch as he relentlessly strives to figure out the case. He is ingenious abd creative in managing to overcome the restrictions of his life. He is obviously a student of humanity because he immediately picks out that Tilda is someone that he can exploit to his own purposes. And he is single minded about what he wants and where he wants to go, refusing to give his name or revealing that he is fluent in Swedish and English. The glimpses into his past and how he wound up in Sweden are tantalizing - by episode two, we know that he is a former cop brilliant and intuitive as well as logical.

The show manages to reveal the dilemma faced by refugees and the host country without beating you senseless - a flaw in many programs trying to promote the progressive agenda.

As it moves forward, I hope that we learn Ibrahim's story as well as what Tilda did to be fired. I also hope that she gets a comeuppance for exploiting Ibrahim at some point, but he is willing to be exploited as long as he can remain in Sweden and gets to use his considerable talents.

If you are stuck on pure reality then watch actual, real life, investigation shows. I liked the general absudity and the recovery from the female character that continually created her own demise.

The view into the refugee issues as well as the prior life circumstances that led #24 to the current situation is also a key to the storyline.

Relax and enjoy.a barely likable character whose personality dominates the lives of a few that sit closest to her. If you must, cheer for those that focus on her and.look for the occasion where she will fall. Liked the investigation storylines as they were a strong compliment to ties the stories together.

This series is very interesting and enjoyable.

Good acting, good cinematography, interesting story about immigration problems world over and different attitudes about inclusion and not.

Twisted family relationships, always interesting to see in any culture.

Characters with depth, actors playing them very well.

Plot incidents a little weird and possibly not entirely logical or believable but that is not important!

This is fiction, more or less, intended as a short escape from the stress of real life.

In that function it does very well.

Hopefully, it will continue doing just that for many series to come.
