If not for the awkward final 30 minutes of the final episode if would have given this 10/10. :(
In English?
A great who-dunnit crime-drama! From the first episode until the very end of season 1 I was intrigued by the murder case of an ordinary young girl. Who killed Nanna Birk Larssen? It twists and turns at every episode, everyone is a suspect and paranoia is everywhere.
But the best thing about this show is that it shows the social impact of a murder on ordinary people. Are the parents sad, angry or in an emotional void, can cops leave their work behind when they get home, can (wrongfully accused) suspects continue their normal lives, how many lives get ruined because of one murder?
This is probably the most 'real' crime-solving show I have ever seen. Sure, it has its flaws and the ending is not as spectacular as I would have wanted it, but at the end of each and every one of the 20 episodes I have been wanting more and more and more. Finally something non-American that is great to watch!
