Ørnen: En krimi-odyssé

The actors spent time at Denmark's police academy before filming began, learning about investigation techniques as well as training abilities to act like real police officers in action scenes.

In the first episode, the crime scheme is compromised by plot holes. The plan seems to depend on a risky diversion which in fact attracts the attention of the police to the crime scene rather than the opposite. It is also not explained why Sandberg, who is wanted by the police, would choose to land his plane in a place where he is sure to be arrested, and the whole criminal plan comes to depend on how he fares in court.

German television airs two of the original one-hour episodes in a row, cut to 100 minutes in total.
