It's apparent from the plot that this Swedish crime drama wasn't going anyplace. A Swedish criminologist returns home from America to Sweden to attend her mother's funeral. The criminologist was the victim of a childhood kidnapping. While she's home for her mother's funeral, her best friend is killed and her daughter is kidnapped. It's full of cliched flashbacks of her own kidnapping plus the current kidnapping.
It lost me at episode 2. If the writers got paid by the episode then they made money on a plot that could have been tied up in two or three episodes. Poorly written, but well acted. I like Scandinavian crime dramas, but a Vivica Sten mystery is much better.

I'm not a fan of everything that Mark Gatiss has been in, like "Moonflower Murders" or the "Sherlock Holmes" series, but I did enjoy "Bookish". I've always been a fan of Polly Walker from "Enchanted April" to "Bridgerton", she's great in any role. And Connor Finch is a nice addition.
It's a very English detective series, something to relish like an Agatha Christie mystery. You just need a cup of tea and some biscuits and a comfortable chair. Trottie and Gabriel's lavender marriage wasn't that unique, it had a name. The episodes are different, not recycled plots that have been done before.
It's already been renewed for a 2nd season. I hope season 2 has 8 episodes instead of 6. It's a different take on the amateur detective genre and worth a second season.

Another Hannah Swensen Mystery ruined by Barbara Niven's character. These are supposed to be Hallmark style murder mysteries, but it doesn't really know what it is. It's Hannah and her family, Hannah and her staff, Hannah and the Sheriff's Dept., Hannah and the DA... The cast has gotten too large and the comedic elements aren't really funny.
It was better when it was Hannah and a detective that focused on a case, now there are subplots running. The bread and butter of writers are relationship stories, but this is a crime drama and they need writers who know how to write that genre. Who green lights these multi-movie series, they don't work. I think that Hallmark has run out of steam, I expect to hear one day soon they've been bought out or sold off.
