A Bad Example of Scandi-Noir
22 July 2019
This series now streaming on MHz has been really disappointing. I have not read of the novelist's books but would find it hard to believe that these screen adaptations reflect them accurately. The scripts are childish, the characters appear incompetent and are hopefully a poor reflection of the Swedish law enforcement system. Everyone seems to be focused on solving the crime through endless talking, group meetings and incredible luck, rather than logic and procedure. There are too many sub-plots and not all are related. To play the "American" roles, B list actors were used. Their poor acting skills just dragged the episode down even further. Hopefully, there will be no more seasons of this type of Scandi-Noir!
