I am not one to watch lengthy part series - not at all!! This one just grabbed me and held me tight. The Danes and Sweedish do quality TV, especially in casting and character direction. Compared to many US productions, where characters are often like cardboard cut-outs, this series gave us believable real live human people. Brilliant photography and beautiful direction.
The story too was very well crafted, looking deep into human behaviour, morals and ethics in power, and the consequences of actions taken.
It is a series I will watch again in the future, if just to enjoy the rich texture.
I highly commend the production team and recommend this excellent series.
