I expected far better especially seeing the calibre of the well-known actors and actresses appearing here. The series starts off promisingly as a tight cold case drama but soon goes off the rails with appearances of ghosts and totally implausible family relationships.
Iris is plainly psychologically unfit to be back at work especially as the murder enquiry panning out in Stockholm is producing no results. The case in Malmö is doing no better either. However, it all went pear shaped in episode four with the assault on a murder suspect. The lead investigator didn't report the incident which was absurd as the suspect would certainly be telling his lawyer. Later we are expected to believe that a junkie no-hoper has the means to track a cop to her home.
After this, melodrama after unbelievability took place at breakneck speed. This really should have had eight episodes. Everything was crammed in and the denouement was just so trite as to actually make me angry.
Looking back over my review, I've reduced the mark to a three from a four.
