*** ***,2 Well.. this was a 'have to happen'. You take 10 years of famed Nordic crime and detective series from Forbrydelsen to Martin Beck, mix it with British gentleman detective tradition From Holmes to Shoestring, and make crazy satire out of the stew. I would not be at all surprised, if some of the later episodes, also take 'the Micky' on the slow Icelandic crime tradition, where everything... And i mean e v e r y thing, is portrayed in painstaking details. We got it all A Saga like loose gun, ..Swaters, mysterious signs, in blood (ofcause). Horrible murder scenes, where nothing is too graphic, all in the Nordic tradition, and the a pinch of British 'who-done-it' in the highest social layers. Mr Morse says 'helllo', but in a Monty-phythonish style. So the stew has all the ingredients, how does it taste? Its OK. Not Splendid by far. In fact often you will catch yourself thinking, OHH why didn't they do *this* instead of *that*, because -If you have a reasonable well tuned funny-bone, YOU will often have a better punchline :) Comparable to "Scary Movie", but not aimed at teens I agree with the score of 6+ The current value is 6.1. I don't think it should go higher than 6.3. This is based on the first 2 episodes. Pastiche/ Satire thingies has a nasty way of loosing steam, so later episodes may not be that entertaining. 6.2 for the two first episodes.
