The series builds a good character in the form of the perpetrator, who is sublimely cast. When they stick to the case, it's a good solid nordic noir crime story, but when they go around focusing on the different characters' privacy and background, it works far from as sharp.

Natalie Madueño plays okay, but can not carry a story arc on her shoulders. It's the crime story that's the main character here, not the characters.

Ep 1: Beautiful locations. Yes, they have enough to charge the burglar, even if they wanted to charge the wrong one. Simon Sears is back as a cop after Shorta (2020)

Ep 2: A somewhat better episode - more background on Bjørn, and you understand his motivation. Alex Høgh Andersen is also playing somewhat better than expected. Very nicely subdued and violent.

EP3: Really nice postponement, but don't understand why Frederik Havgaard himself goes into the forest, Instead of calling an extra patrol.

EP4: New approach than the previous seasons, the killer is now dead, and the question then depends on who took the baby. Exciting approach. A minus is the wretched character of the investigator from Vestegnen's police. Another minus is that the episode occasionally loses pace on the floor.

Ep5: Three years later - very unexpected. We don't know who took the baby. New case, which at least has a small thread back to one of the owners of the residence where Maria and Bjørn lived as children.

Ep7: Nice and suspenseful episode. It is clear to see that Louise is not trained, because she makes several mistakes. Near-death experience when she is almost burned inside train carriages at Breidablik. Gets bailed out by Jon at the last minute. Presumably so that he could build up goodwill.

EP8: Solid end of the season. The season will be closed nicely with the possibility of a return to Breidablik, but this is not necessary
