Was very impressed with this Swedish crime thriller. It has great atmosphere, backed up with an intelligent soundtrack and excellent camera shots.
The acting is exceptional, from the children through to the main two leads who have great chemistry. All players lend a wonderful cohesion to the flow of the narrative. A really intelligent story line that cleverly carries the thread of action, interaction and sense of what's next through to the end.
European crime thrillers like this seem to be light years ahead of what we see produced for North American screens.Certainly they have a more emotional depth ,this one has a more nuanced repertoire. In addition Europeans seem to be able to deal with certain subject matter,in this case being gay, with an understanding and acceptance that is seems to be beyond us here in North America.
This season one really impressed,lots of great acting,camera angles, and making me really look forward to season two.
