I honestly don't understand the negative reviews. This series kept me on the edge of my seat because I could not figure out who actually killed Karine, the character in the first and second series that we never really had a chance to know. What I did get to learn, was the despicable family she came from; the greed, the power, the uncaring father and grandparents who all pretend as is they have a perfect life of wealth and social standing. Far from it in every way. The main character, Aksel, is a man who was falsely accused of killing her and acquitted. He returns home only to watch his and his family's life unravel once again. The man cannot catch a break. The drama was gut-wrenching as the viewers witnessed him try to prove himself innocent over and over. Not a show for people who want light and breezy in a series. The show gets a 9 rating for the script and acting. The last star is for the magnificent aerial shots of the mountains and fjords that are joined in one continuous frame. Simply wonderful on every level.
