Season 4, Episode 2
8/10
Very good, very sad in equal measure.

Kurt is violently beaten and mugged, he's instantly on the hunt for the killer of Erika Hjelmqvist, and he's trying to find her missing daughter Hannah.

I enjoyed this episode quite a lot, it combines a truly engaging case of murder, with the personal problems Kurt is facing, his deteriorating health.

There are some happy, uplifting moments, the piano and dinner, those are of course contrasted with the darker scenes, the moment where Kurt receives news of his health for one.

If you happen to be a fan of Inspector Morse, then you can perhaps relate to this, it feels like the early stages of The Remorseful Day, the final act for Morse.

Clive Wood is excellent as the head of the biker gang, he's had such a varied career, this is one of the best things I've seen him do.

Overall, it's a very good penultimate episode for Kurt. 8/10.
