Normally Scandinavian crime series are of high standard but lately I have some difficulties with them. This serie falls in that categorie. Although the effort is ok, it's meanly about an female police investigator joining a special division in Stockholm. Apparently she is not welcome for a non disclosed reason. So far she has no special skills beside her being a classical musician once being a member of the London philharmonic orchestra. So she's strangely introduced as higher educated then al of them which should explain the adversity. Strangely because normally a special branch is know for higher educations.
From that point on, they run into the first case of a kidnapped kid at Stockholm Central Train station. At that point the whole unit doesn't seems to function at al as a police unit. Every scene at the HQ is dripping of amateurism, no apparent leadership in the investigation, deliberate ignoring lines of inquiries, openly showing signs of tunnelvision. In effect causing more victims then necessary, which don't forces higher leadership to intervene. And that's beside all the personal issues. One officer has a wife suffering from post natal stress syndrome, while he is having an affair witha college at work. Which causing him so much sleep that he falls asleep on the workfloor. Another officers seems to have coronary symptoms which he tries to avoid having checked. She, herself seems to be reluctant in adopting a kid of her own, without consulting her relation at that point. Beside that she is using pot for whatever reason. All and all it's to much personal sjite and to little professional police bearing. Makes you question if they had intent to make a proper police series. It's not even an A for effort.
