I started to watch this when it appeared on one of the streaming sites that specialize in foreign TV series, and also because I'm a fan of Nordic Noir. This series started off well, and I had high hopes for it, even paying to download the series. Unfortunately, a little past the mid-point of the first season, the writing took a dive, the characters became really annoying, especially the "psychic" who wanders around the crime scenes mumbling to himself. It became worse when he solved a murder because of a dream he had.
Some episodes lack continuity, and the plot scrambles at the end to tie up loose ends that were created. This is often done in ways that are just unbelievable. It's like going from Point A to point C without showing the viewer what happened in-between at point B! One can only hope that the series is really not representative of the state of Denmark's Justice and Police system! I should not have continued with series 2 but did so because I hoped the writers would produce better scripts. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The downward spiral continued! Now, to be fair, this series is over 15 years old, and is probably not as well developed as the later Nordic Noir offerings such as "Borgen", "The Killing", and "the Bridge". Perhaps the genre was finding its feet at that time, and evolving into the excellent productions we see today. On the other hand, every country that produces TV series will produce some pretty "horrible" shows sometimes, and this may be an example of that. I believe there were 4 seasons produced but I don't think I will be spending more to find out if season 3 and 4 got better......just not worth the money to do so!
