This sort of hooks you in without you realising it. Not really sure why. The acting is good, and the plot works well in the first series. However, it is all very grim indeed. Constant darkness with totally miserable characters. I am not sure anyone smiled in all 10 episodes. Very depressing. The Chief of Police looked like the least likely, most unfit copper I have ever seen, and he is just not likeable at all. What a miserable place to live and work. Certainly, you are most struck by how the landscape and climate have moulded the people.
Still, I kept watching despite the banality of it all. I started the second season, but it seems like utter nonsense and totally unwatchable so far (Episode 1).
