UNTIL RECENTLY I THOUGHT ALL NORDIC NOIR EQUALS HIGH QUALITY STORIES AND PLOTS AND THEN YOU WATCH SHOWS LIKE STHLM REQUIEM AND MARIA WERN.
I HAD ORIGINALLY STARTED WATCHING SEASON 5 BECAUSE THAT WAS THE OLDEST AVAILABLE ON VIAPLAY. THREE EPISODES IN I THOUGHT THIS MUST HAVE BEEN BETTER IN THE ORIGINAL SEASON OR TWO OR THEY WOULDN'T HAVE MADE SOME MANY SEASONS.
WRONG. I SUBSCRIBED TO MHZ AND STARTED WATCHING SEASON 1. IT IS JUST AS BAD OR WORSE AS THE SHOW IS IN SEASON 5. IT HAS TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE WRITING AND ANOTHER AWFUL FEMALE COP. MARIA VERN COMES OFF AS A NOT ONLY AN INEPT DETECTIVE AND NO GREAT MOTHER, BUT ALL SHE DOES IS FLIRT WITH AND HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH HER COLLEAGUES.
INSTEAD OF SOLVING CRIMES, SHE JUST SITS AROUND TALKING, LOOKING AT PICS, BATTING HER EYES UNTIL A COINCIDENCE OF UNREAL PROPORTIONS FALLS IN HER LAP AND THEY SOLVE THE CRIME. EVERYONE ELSE CAN BE AT A CRIME SCENE AND MISS THE MOST OBVIOUS THING BUT THE WRITERS HAVE HER "DISCOVER" IT LIKE SHE'S SOME GENIUS. IT IS PATHETIC.
THEY TOUCH CRIME SCENE OBJECSTS WITH NO GLOVES. WHEN THEY CALL OUT THE REST OF THE COPS THEY LOOK LIKE A SWAT TEAM ON THIS SMALL ISLAND. SHE SPENDS MORE TIME TALKING ABOUT MEN THAN SHE DOES SOLVING CRIMES.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
