What is it wíth Swedish film/TV? Why do they think that numb acting and slow pace, combined with a standard intrigue is good? Not even the August family (there are a lot of them here...) make it, their acting is so bad it's a big question they made it in to basic stage school. And the resumes in the beginning of every episode are so confused they are just big laughs. So poor it's actually fun to watch, a real turkey!
E.g. The main characters find out that they should ask a woman in Finland, maybe some 1,000 miles from where they are, including one ferryline the distance of at least 14 hours, a pretty simple question, did she have a student named NN? Of course they decide to go there! Using phone is of course not an option! So, they go for maybe three days, knocks on the door (lucky she is home!), and ask her the question, it takes maybe three minutes. She answers "no", and they leave... It's so stupid it's hilarous!
As far as I know, the novel it's based on is supposed to be written of one of their best, but I really wonder... Have read quite a few ones, and it's hard to believe that this extremely thin story is based on anything worth to read.
