    Wonderfully irreverent homicide show that doesn't take itself too seriously

    There's a tongue-in-cheek irreverence to this - I love how employees freely talk back to their bosses - yet it still manages to tell an interesting tale. The script is brisk and avoids much of the soap opera backstory that kills so many productions. Kjell Bergqvist is perfect as the irascible but brilliant lead. The supporting cast doesn't disappoint. To top if off, the cinematography and palette are pleasing to the eye. It's all presented with low-key direction that lets the actors and action breathe, punctuated with some above-average CGI effects to mix it up.

    Cocky Old Character Entertains

    I disagree that you have to be Scandinavian to truly enjoy this series. This narcissistic detective is irascible and lovable at the same time. Great scenery, very fun supporting cast, and I love the imagined flashbacks. This is a great escape with heart and some unexpected laughs 😉

    Entertaining series.

    If you don't like this you may be lacking a sense of humour ... Kjell Bergqvist is not only charismatic he's also pretty funny at times. I'm up to episode four and I'm thoroughly enjoying it but not taking it too seriously ... and I think that is the key!

    Arrogant, egocentric 'hero' gives this a different, fun feel

    Surprised at some of the low ratings here. This is a very different, very enjoyable series. True to life? Well I hope not, but very entertaining. And I liked the acting. Not hammy and 'deep' in the usual American way, but natural - except for the lead, who always plays his character as an arrogant but brilliant a#$hole, which is the way he should be played.

    better then the america version.

    Less frantic editing/talks. less episodes. better overall. more compelling. Main actor is very arrogant but much more credible in Euro version. recommended.
