Review of The Valhalla Murders

I actually liked this show. Like I would a local theatre group production of a stereotypical crime storyline. The actors, the music, the cinematography... everything... descends into melodrama every little while. I'd probably have given it a higher rating if the main actors had something going for them. Better acting, likeable persona, less cheesy lines. But that's a big no. Did they focus-group test this on a bunch of people who have never seen decent crime series?

Or maybe Mare just spoiled me rotten.

Some up-side: Icelandic noir can only get better (one hopes) And.. you can catch up with your email on the side while watching this. Predictability can sometimes be a good thing. Right?
