Series Reviews

Funny, random and with a lot of personal charm.

First of all: Kate Winslet acting was just perfect.

A must watch if you like mystery and crime dramas. One of the best out there. I love how the series depicts its female characters with a lot of depth and real problems like the difficulty of being a mother and the grief of losing a son or a daughter. The story was very solid, and the plots twist held themselves until the very end.

The series mainly follows William Wisting, a classic nordic silent-type police investigator, and Line, his daughter, who is a journalist, who is often covering or involved in the crimes William investigates. I liked this dynamic of both of them uncovering secrets from the cases and at the same time having conflicting points of view of both their personal and professional lifes.

With two seasons divided by two stories per season, Wisting had a lot going on. At first, I hard a hard time liking most of the characters, but, eventually, I grow found of all of them. First season part one had the best overall story and ambiance, but the second season gives more depth to secondary characters, contributing to the series imersion.
