When I started watching this thanks to the Comcast Watchathon, I had no idea it was based on a real investigation.
I didn't know about Kim Wall and in a way my pathetic ignorance was a blessing as I really had no idea how this was going to end. All the successive twists and turns were at times excruciating. They were also fascinating as the plot unfolds and resources are developed, so very slowly, that become critical in the solving of this murder.
I am a huge fan of Scandinavian TV and so have no problem with the subtitles. I realize they may not be everyone's cuppa.
This series is slow and laborious. I suspect it more reflects actual police work than many American shows.
The actors are recognizable from other Danish/etc. Series and Malling especially stands out as simply exceptional. But all the actors are wonderful.
It is interesting that we never see the accused. I actually liked that. I live in a state where there have been mass shootings very close to home, and I hate even hearing the names of those murderers. In real life, they deserve to be not seen. Not heard from.
I loved this. I am so glad I got a chance to watch it. I recommend it.
