Agatha Christies Hjerson

Not the dark moody somewhat realistic Swedish crime series I'm used to and I like the change. It's stylistic in its colors and enjoyable without a lot of sex and blood. A pice of candy. The female protagonist has a weird and uninteresting relationship with her fiancé...

I honestly don't understand why people hate this show? And why is everyone cringing? This is the best Scandinavian murder show I've seen in years! I love murder mysteries and I grew up reading (and watching) Agatha Christie's work. I'm also a huge Bryan Fuller fan and this show has some of the same qualities as "Pushing Daisies". It's not really similar, but it's got something to do with the colors, the sunshine, the somewhat strange dialogue... I can't explain it. But I guess it's this vibe that makes some people compare it to a kids show. I don't see that, but I do see the quirkiness. I hope they make thousands of episodes. I could watch this every day. I love, love, love it!

It's not a dark thriller if that is what you are expecting, but a great feel-good puzzlemystery. I was a bit sceptical at first but found myself falling in love with Alström and Rheborgs characters the more I saw of them. I think it is funny and interesting at the same time. Can't wait for more episodes in the future!

I watched this via Channel 4 in the UK in 2022, and have had a look at the current reviews, which seem to have been placed by 1) people with some vested interest in the show who give it vapid rave reviews, and 2) people who for some reason have an almost pathological hatred for the show. It's certainly not a 10-star blockbuster, but nor is it a 1-star mega-turkey. To be sure, the writers have absolutely no clue how to actually construct a bona fide mystery plot, and apparently no interest in doing so; their aim is to create quirky characters and spin a certain light, escapist mood, and there they succeed. So, yes, most of the crime plots make no sense, and the "solutions" don't hold water...but...the show is so damned entertaining! I'm going to give it a generous 7 stars, and yes, I would watch a second season.

An excellent entertainment when you want a relaxing evening in the TV-sofa. I particularly like the somewhat surreal feeling of it, which runs through acting, as well as settings, lighting and colours. To be recommended!
