I don't often write reviews but in this case I regard it as my civic duty to warn my fellow earthlings. From the summary I was hoping for something on a par with Smilla, Trapped or even Fortitude but this doesn't even deserve to polish the snow boots of those movie/series.
So, how did they create this turkey (tin Swedish: "kalkon")? It all starts with a ridiculous plot. Turn that into a laughable screenplay and add some of the most toe-curling dialogue this side of the arctic circle. Finally, add some of the hammiest actors you can find (in particular the Swedish agent who vacillates between arrogant unprofessional termagant and blabbering unprofessional cry-baby, all the while showing she's a founding member of Over-actors Anonymous). I honestly don't know what made Lena Endre sign up for this - she's a classic actress but is dragged down to the level of the rest of this stinker.
In the first few episodes the local actors at least act well, but later on even they are made to suffer inane plot twists and ludicrous dialogue. The only one who deserves kudos is the little girl.
The only positive thing about this series is the stunning scenery of Greenland (let's enjoy it while it lasts).
