We watched this one straight after the disappointing "Karppi" and it's of a whole other caliber. First of all, here's a plot that unfolds slowly and realistically. There are two sub-plots, one of which serves as a red herring, the other to bring the antagonist to the main character into life. All three stories develop in parallel and have only a few junctions, none of which you need any suspension of disbelief for. This leads to a very thorough character development with some amazing acting performances, notably by Kjell Bergvist.
I withdraw one star for the final twist which was as needless as it was chronologically impossible.
Series 2 brings about more credible storylines, equally unfolding slowly, allowing for even more interesting characters, with notable acting this time by Saga Samuelsson. I'm sorry for talking in review clichés but I don't want to spoil anything. Well written, well shot, well acted, well directed ... with a few unforgettable side shows coming from Minken, Rune Forss and Märten.
