There were holes as big as a moon crater in this mini series. By the end, so little was resolved.
The plot summary does not do this justice. It's actually a lone-cop drama, a misfit of course. I found the organic farming to be incidental; it could have been any cultish organisation in an enclosed large parcel of land with buildings. I actually found the belief in organic farming and the political views held by the dirigeants of the farm to be dichotomous.
However, nothing was explained. How did the farm come to the attention of the cops? And who were these cops anyway who had such latitude to mount such an unconventional operation? Why were the sisters so essential to the farm when there were so many children there already? Where on earth was the unexplained money coming from?
There were so many "how did they...?" and "how come...?" moments that to describe them risks entering spoiler territory. It just didn't hang together, there was no coherence.
I really like Fares Fares and he didn't disappoint. Several other stalwarts of Scandi drama starred as well and turned in competent performances. They'd have been more convincing with a decent story though - some of them looked faintly embarrassed at the nonsense they were performing.
The ending was slightly unexpected but had to be contrived to finish like that.
It wasn't a total waste of time but I could have spent the hours on something better.
