Just caught up with it - It's rather good.
The killer has been instructed to kill 'godless' people by that awful American preacher. Somehow I don't think he'll want to kill the autistic girl. I like looking at the Swedes house interiors. |

In theory harder to jemmy open an outward-opening than smash through an inward-opening door that relies only on where the locks and possibly bolts or hinges are holding it.

There's more space. (my bathroom door opens outwards) When it's been snowing heavily, the snow doesn't fall into the house when the front door is open. You can bash your way out the door if there's a fire. ( rather than opening it inwards trying get out. |

Talking about hotel corridors reminded me I was quite amused on my first (and only) trip to Sweden that the Swedish for lift (aka elevator) is "hiss".

Enjoyed these first two, will stick with it. Lead was in The Bridge I believe. Oh and did the opening shots of a caravan in the wood remind anyone of the camper van in The Missing? |

Interestingly enough, the Swedish drama 'Blues Eyes', which was shown More 4 earlier this year, covered the issue of immigration, integration, the far-right etc,. |

Yes I enjoyed Blue Eyes but felt it copped our towards the end. Sweden and the other Nordic countries have had their moments. Naively Sweden only recently introduced law stating you couldn't support terrorism or go abroad and fight or train. Previously 300 had gone to Isis to do just that and worriedly returned in most cases ! All in all id say a decent society with capped rent and a good standard of living, we could learn ....... Xx
I didn't know about the terrorism law you mentioned. Seems bizarre that it took them so long to introduce it.

I have skipped all the Aussie babble and have not watched a crime drama since Trapped and Blue Eyes earlier this year.
Modus, as others well pointed out, is inferior to these, aside from Blue Eyes cop out ending. The Scandinavian crime writers are obsessed with religious and especially protestant sect extremism, along with neo-nazis, it is a regular theme. Too predictable. And Modus sounds like a style of bookcase or kitchen unit, lame. |

The book this is based on has been changed considerably .
Vik and the detective are married in it and they have a child together . I did think they seemed to know each other when he went into the hotel to see what was going on as he was passing but then got confused when he picked the angel up and then was looking sadly at the woman in the cemetry. Whatever the criticism about Nordic. Noir I look forward to their dramas far more than anything we produce . |

I agree with you about the ending to Blue Eyes. It's like the programme makers didn't know how to end it.

That's what I meant about the seeming naivety . As a society they were open to giving refuge to those in need. I don't think it crossed their mind that some of the same people would turn on them. There is now division and the open border between Don't know if u watch The Bridge but if they made another series the change in law would scupper Saga Noren from nipping back and forth over the Oresund bridge

The filming of next series of The Bridge began last month.
Where have you been? Copenhagen. Have u been living in Christiana? (Laughs) No (Guard leans in) where are the drugs? So clearly they are really focussed on stopping terrorism 🙄 |
