Love this. A breath of fresh (Scottish/Nordic) air.
Some are against the asides/fourth wall breaking part of this series, but this is what freshens the new crime procedural up, there are already plenty of these about. Not that it couldn't stand by itself without it, but for me it does add to the programme rather than take away. And it fleshes out the main character too.
Nicola Walker is a well deserved acclaimed actress already, but she handles this aspect superbly, as well as putting in her normal top quality performance. Then we have an engaging supporting cast, and most importantly the fabulous setting, which somehow reflects even better the wilds of Scotland than even other acclaimed series/programmes set up there.
All in all a most enjoyable series, god I really hope we get more. The only disappointment? It's only 6 damn episodes! More!!
