The Nordic Murders

I enjoyed this series, the settings, the back story and how the family of the main character unfolds alongside a different murder each episode. The characters are engaging and played well. The storyline is a very adult one without being smutty like others which I appreciated. It is set on the German and Poland border and contains mainly German language but also some polish.

Well written and excellently delivered. The series doesn't just have a good script and very good actors but the suspense is very well held without a crazy amount of action. Wonderful entertainment.

The main characters are very deap and come across authentically. The story develops over the series with some dramatic and unexpected turns. The scenery of the baltuc coast and camera work add to the drama without being over present, just giving the series that edge.

This is a well-acted & well-crafted series about an odd Police Inspector on the Baltic (aka Baltic Crimes) island of Usedom, an elegant island with a German-Polish ethnicity. Played by Lisa Potthof, Marie Thiel is a Police officer with a few problems: her mom, a former judge, was just paroled after a long stretch for shooting Marie's dad; Marie, happily married to an entrepreneur & former cop, is carrying on an affair with a Polish police officer from the far side of the island; and her pretty daughter has learned of the trysts & is starting to rebel.

I was surprised when I vetted this series (it's European, after all) to find no IMDB PG content warning, but, in public interest, I can suggest you keep your hand on the FF button! The females in the show, young and older, are attractive and as aggressive as the men. (I don't know if this reflects reality or the writers' version of reality).

A funny thing I noticed in the first 2 episodes: straightforward crimes become more complicated as the story unfolds. I have never seen this style before. Also, the scenery on this Baltic isle is quite fetching. (In case you didn't know, you access it over a causeway-it's not an isle 25 miles away from the Coast.). Enjoy!

I really enjoy this series,set on an island in the Baltic in the eastern part of Germany close to the Polish border. Like most TV series of this genre is is very slow burning yet it is enthralling viewing. The cast is excellent the first series starting with the release from prison of Karin Lossow and her return to her home on the.island of Usedom where her daughter Julia is a police inspector. Each episode is a stand alone story and with each episode the characters are fleshed out and we get to know more about them. The plots of the episodes are extremely good and the location filming is stunning showing the beautiful scenery of the countryside Having enjoyed the first season I was delighted to discover that the second series was available on All4,so I'm slowly streaming my way through it. The series is well worth a watch probably the best German TV series shown on Walter Presents since the Deutschland Trilogy. Roll on season 3!!!

I watched the first season. They must have not hired a police advisor. Seldom have I seen complete ignorance of proper procedure, blatant lying, and criminals allowed to go free because of connections to the prosecutors and police officers. I won't bother with the gaps in continuity. The only two likable characters were the lead's husband that she cheated on and a homeless woman whose attackers went free to protect the guilty.
