I picked this TV Series because I'm a big fan of "Nordic Noirs" as "The Killing" and "The Bridge". Certainly, Unit One is a little dated compared to the aforementioned series, but I wouldn't mind the end of the 90s setting as I have good memories of that period, so I actually enjoy going back to people dressing in a certain way,different hairdos, different cars etc. However, the first series was OK, with episodes having a plain story-line, with often unexpected murderers, some irony and the opportunity, through the show, for each character to define his/her own personality. The second series instead was very disappointing as story-lines were weak, outstandingly banal and with a predictable ending and murderer. The only things that blew my mind were the recurring themes of strong passion and love, both in some murder episodes and in some relationships between characters. From Danes I wouldn't have expected such big sentimental involvement that, to my standards, I would have thought more present in the Mediterranean or Latin America personalities. A character that made me smile was IP who's a keen policeman and, at the same time, an ingenuous and overly indulgent person as he's always betrayed by his wife who often runs off with his boss. No matter this he keeps on forgiving her.
