I was very glad to see that they resisted the urge to start the season with a more menacing murder so that they trump season one's premiere. They could have blown up the bridge or stage a mass execution or something like this. Good they didn't - so I thought. In the end though, there's people dying of the plague - an outbreak which threatens a whole region. Not sure if that was really necessary. Let's see - funny to watch that in the midst of a global epidemic though. It's a weaker start than the show premiere - simply because we know Saga already and we are warned.... Still we want to get to know more of her character (and especially about what she's using her "boyfriend" for. Social studies it seems. Like Seven of Nine used ensign Kim back on the Voyager for mating practice). The plot is branched out like in episode 3. There's the main case and the two detectives, but there's also a lesbian sailor with daddy issues, a bullied kid, a suspicious ship owner and Martin's nemesis Jens who might play a role in this season from behind bars. Let's see how well these plot lines are connected or if that's just red herring material like so often (too often) encountered in season 1. The picture looks grim as ever - it seems they faded out all the colors. So, there's no relief for those who hoped for some hygge/Bullerby moments.

Poor Martin ... Saga is unimpressed.
