Hvide Sande (2021)
8/10
fascinating crime thriller with humor and beautiful landscape
30 December 2023
Once again a really good crime thriller. (clearly from a Danish source) For me, who also like Norwegian crime thrillers very much, a reason to try this series and I was not disappointed. However, this is not a dark and gloomy Nordic crime thriller as you would typically expect. This one is carried with a lightness of touch and shows the local landscape at its best and weather at its best.

A very likeable leading lady with a somewhat grumpy partner played very well by Carsten Bjørnlund and a heart-warming dog. A perfect mix to solve the murder of a surfer on a snow-white, beautiful beach in Denmark. Everything is so beautiful that we immediately wanted to move our vacation to Denmark :-)

There is no shortage of suspense either. The story is multi-layered and unpredictable, so you want to know what happens next at the end of each episode. Plus a little pinch of local Danish humor. A successful mixture.

So it was a bad decision to choose it as a crime thriller before going to sleep, as there was rather little sleep :-)

A recommendation for all Nordic crime thriller fans.

--------------- Conclusion:

Excellent - This makes crime thrillers entertaining.
