I gave it time, I watched 1,5 episodes although I usually give up on "bad" movies or series after a few minutes. The original Department Q is a series of 10 independent excellent nordic noir crime movies. As dark as possible, intriguing, tense thrillers, with some of the finest nordic actors, believable characters, solid adaptations of the original novels. Fans all over the world must have been hoping for a similar experience but instead they got an extremely slowly developing story about a mentally unstable detective's behavioral issues and lame jokes with his former colleagues. The never-ending scenes of characters doing something that you may perceive in less than 1 second - unless you scroll your phone with one hand and your tablet with the other at the same time to avoid falling asleep while watching the series - make it impossible to appreciate even the pretty decent acting of the otherwise caricaturesque characters. I simply can not see the point why this series had to be made.

Forhøret or Face to Face. They should warn you before starting to watch Suspect that you will see a more expensive but horrible copy of Forhøret. Hard to understand why James Nesbitt is considered such a good actor. This overacting with overly dramatic music does not make up for one glance by Ulrich Thomsen. Please, please watch the real thing with Ulrich Thomsen even if it is not the best Scandinavian crime series ever but it is definitely better than this copy.

Having watched a few scenes again today I can only say I'm sorry for those who did not grow up with masterpieces like this and those who cannot appreciate them. Once you see these images you are captivated by them forever. Every face, every scene, every color or lack of it stirs up thousands of emotions and future memories. Let yourself flow with the main character and let history and the city overcome you.
