User Reviews

Not as good as the original Danish version

I watched the Danish version and thought that this version may be better because there would be no subtitles, but alas it was a poor imitation. Somehow this version lost a lot of the tension which was a key feature in the original Danish version. Also in general the acting wasn't as good, however the detective Sarah was the best actor in the series. It was not as nail biting or addictive as the Danish version and so I didn't continue to watch the whole series. Anyone who hasn't watched the original should make an effort to see it. It is great in comparison. It's a pity but this is a very disappointing copy of a good story!!!!
