I'm a big fan of "Scandi-Noir" genre but to be honest, this one is just overly complicated with very little return. To keep track of the plot with its biblical references, moral discussions, tedious dialog which at times seems out of place, and the number of characters that keep appearing out of the woodwork, one of the boards that police use to solve a crime would be helpful. You need to try an remember who's who, who's connected to whom, and what their role is in the overall plot. The story could have been told in half the number of episodes, and without some of the very pointless scenes that seemed unrelated to the plot. The editing is not great as things jump around too much. The characters are not very likable, and the lead is very flat and two-dimensional. I'm not sure I'd watch a second season if it were produced. UPDATE: I thought I'd give the second season a chance to see if there was any improvement in the writing or extreme and unnecessarily complicated plot. There was absolutely no change at all. In fact, the second season proved to be even more ridiculous than the first, sequencing a series of confusing events that just seemed to happen and appeared unrelated to the story. It was as if the writers did not use a story board but came to work each day with a new idea. Whether that idea was relevant or not to the story, appeared immaterial. New characters would spring from nowhere and as the series progressed, each episode became just a celebration of chaos. You could watch the first and last episode only and not miss anything because the episodes in between were just fairly pointless. One can only hope we'll be spared a third season of this very silly series.
