I've only watched 2 episodes. But I like the premise and I hope it gets better. Tilda the lead character is utterly unlikable. This is never a good thing but I but I think they want to make her funny. She is totally unaware of her truly obnoxious personality or she just doesn't care. Some of the background information provided explains why she is the way she is - overbearing distant father who was continuously disappointed in her, super competitive passive-aggressive sister, who takes pleasure in reminding Tilda of her failures, dead, idealized mother, to whom Tilda bears a starting resemblance- it's all there. Tilda is entitled, over-priviledged and ruthless in her vanity, heedless of other people and a Kardashian level attention seeker. Nobody likes her and it's easy to see why.
Ibrahim, on the other hand, it immediately sympathetic. If other reviewers say he's boring, they're not really paying attention because he lives in his head and it is fascinating to watch as he relentlessly strives to figure out the case. He is ingenious abd creative in managing to overcome the restrictions of his life. He is obviously a student of humanity because he immediately picks out that Tilda is someone that he can exploit to his own purposes. And he is single minded about what he wants and where he wants to go, refusing to give his name or revealing that he is fluent in Swedish and English. The glimpses into his past and how he wound up in Sweden are tantalizing - by episode two, we know that he is a former cop brilliant and intuitive as well as logical.
The show manages to reveal the dilemma faced by refugees and the host country without beating you senseless - a flaw in many programs trying to promote the progressive agenda.
As it moves forward, I hope that we learn Ibrahim's story as well as what Tilda did to be fired. I also hope that she gets a comeuppance for exploiting Ibrahim at some point, but he is willing to be exploited as long as he can remain in Sweden and gets to use his considerable talents.
