Either is a parody or a lack of new ideas. Let me start with the music. In my ears sounds like Sherlock's music. The beginning of the first episode was prety simillar to the "Bron/Broen" (the bridge), with a guy in the exact middle of four countries. The female detective (Lisa Henni) was identical to the Bron's female detective Sofia Helin. Exactly the same character. Although the chief inspector (in nobraska, can't remember the city's name) reminds me some character but i can't say who tho. If you exclude all the above was a funny and kind of mystery series.
