The Detective from 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. ...

I ll liked the premise; incompetent downbeated prosecuter takes help from a asylumseeker detective.

The problem is that the characters are unlikeable. She is arrogant and selfabsorbed. He is boring.

If she was the comedic relief (like dr Watson) and he was portraid as smart. (Maybe some clever editing explaning why). And some better story. Now they are relying on.what some call mcguffing. (A special event that happens nearby). It just does not make sence. Some people are not behaving like normal.

The actors are fine. The photo is ok. The editing a little bit off. Its hard to hear What some character are saying sometimes.

It could be an interesting tv-show with some more development.

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.

I am not sure why there are so many low reviews for this really refreshing series and I, for one, would love to see the 2nd season. After watching the first 2 episodes, you might think that the leading female charachter is unlikeable and obnoxious (which she is), but as the series progresses one gets to understand her more and kind of root for her, as well.

As for the leading male character, he's just great and the way the actor portrays him is very, very touching indeed. The whole series is excellent, I binge-watched it in a day and highly recommend it.

I would love to see these two work together on cases, as well as on each other, because this is where the writing is clearly headed to - to their mutual change in behaviour and views, something of a rub-off effect, I would say.

So, 8 stars for this, realistically.

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.
