Inscrutable

It really was nearly impossible to work out who had done the murders. This is not because of the subtlety of the plots but because the answers came out of the blue as a flash of inspiration to the eponymous heroine's brain. Really, there were no clues at all to lead one to the miscreants. OK, I'm not fantastic at whodunits but I'd hope to guess correctly more than the one time I managed to in the penultimate episode.

I have to say that the personal lives and stories in the series weren't particularly convincing. Mario acquires a new fella just like that while frissons of tension (and more) are going on between her and her hunky partner Pekka.

Worth watching all the episodes but there wasn't a real urge to do so. It was more than a sense of duty but only a bit more.

WRONG CHARACTER IS THE LEAD CHARACTER. IT SHOULD BE CALLED SUSANNA HONKANEN OR PEKKA & SU

MARIA KALLIO IS A PRETTY BORING INFANTILE CHARACTER. SHE IS OK AT HER JOB BUT NO SHERLOCK BY ANY STANDARD AND HAS NO RESPECT FOR HER PARTNER WHO SHE SLEEPS WITH AND THEN TREATS LIKE SHITTE. I DO NOT LIKE HER CHARACTER AND HER MOTIVATIONS ARE VERY CONFUSING. SHE CAN'T DEAL WITH ANYTHING IN HER PERSONAL LIFE AND IS PARTLY PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AND PARTLY SHUNS THE PEOPLE AROUND HER THAT SHE SUPPOSEDLY CARES ABOUT. ELENA LEEVE IS OK IN THE ROLE BUT NOT SPECTACULAR BY ANY STRETCH. I ALSO DON'T SEE THE PHYSICAL ATTRACTION THAT MEN HAVE FOR HER.

THIS WOULD BE A FAR BETTER SHOW IF THEY WROTE HER OUT AND MADE THE SHOW ABOUT SUSANNA HONKANEN WHO IS OBVIOUSLY THE SMARTER DETECTIVE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HER GRANDFATHER BF. SHE IS MORE DYNAMIC AND INTERESTING AND EVEN IN THE SHOW THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE CHARACTER IS THE BETTER DETECTIVE. TAKE THE CHARACTERS AND WRITE OUT MARIA AND DO A SHOW ABOUT SUSANNA WITH ROOSA SODERHOLM. PEKKA PLAYED BY LEO SJOMAN IS EXCELLENT ALSO. PAIR THESE TWO UP AS PARTNERS AND DON'T MAKE IT AOBUT THEM SCREWING EACH OTHER, ADD SOME DECENT PLOTS AND THIS COULD BE A VERY GOOD SHOW. YOU COULD MAKE THE NEXT SERIES ABOUT PEKKA AND SU. THE DCI AND OTHER SUPPORTING CHARACTERS ARE OVERALL GOOD. THE SHOW FOCUSES ON THE WEAKEST AND LEAST INTERESTING CHARACTER MARIA. I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR MARIA AND FEEL NOTHING FOR HER. WRITE A CHARACTER THAT MAKES YOU AT LEAST LIKE THEM EVEN WITH THEIR FLAWS. I JUST THINK SILLY HO THE WAY MARIA'S CHARACTER IS WRITTEN BECAUSE SHE IS FLAWED BEYOND LIKABILITY AND SEEMS TO BE THE LEAST RESPONSIBLE PERSON TO BE IN CHARGE. SHE'S PRETTY USELESS. WRITE HER OUT AS THOUGH SHE WENT ON TO LAW SCHOOL BECAUSE THE CHARACTER SUCKS AS A DETECTIVE. I ACTUALLY FEEL BAD FOR ELENA LEEVE PLAYING SUCH A POORLY WRITTEN ROLE.
