I was also puzzled as to why she had to hotwire her car. Surely that's only what crims do when they need to steal a car and don't have the key?

In the fight with that super fit, powerful marine he knocked her twice so hard and then strangled her within an inch of her life and yet miraculously, she overcame it all and stabbed him, how many times? Preposterous

You hear stories of loved ones being trapped with relatives managing to move large pieces of rubble or even cars to get to the injured person, so not altogether preposterous. |

Scandic noir plots seems to rely a lot on mobile phones, close-ups of people's names on a ringing mobile, a mobile found with the dead body OR the dead person's mobile is missing, someone dials a number and an unknown mobile rings IN THE SAME HOUSE AS THE DIALLER, it's boring and cliched. |

Think the poster was just making a note of other things in the show which were a tad preposterous.

Well if you look at society today i.e. everyone walking round, head stooped glued to their mobile phone, totally oblivious to their surroundings, then I think it could be a pretty accurate depiction.

I suppose every self respecting 'hit man' walks around with a power drill!
What was the point of him drilling through the front of the car? I had forgotten that the actor Marek Oravec has appeared in 'New Tricks', and' Foyle's War'. |

I never understood how they worked out that the 'manwhore' was killed on that ship. Didn't seem any evidence to suggest this.

To stop one of the headlights working. Which I assume was to make the car easy to identify in the dark as the one to ram. Wouldn't work in this country though with so many cars with dodgy lights.

And when they bump into you, they glare at you like it's your fault for not anticipating their unwillingness to look where the **** they're going.
Flustered, she looked up, mouthed an obscenity at me and then to round it off gave me a two fingered salute. I sat there with a bemused look on my face. Obviously it was my fault for stopping for a red light.

Pretty disappointing in the end.
The main character was OK but I wanted her to do a bit more 'FBI-ing' I really disliked the role of the two weird children. I understand the need for a personal connection between Inger and the killer but their behaviour was totally implausible and an annoying distraction from the main plot. |

Thought this stunning. Ok the build up with thinking the girls had got into the killer's car, then suggesting he was outside their home rather than Noah's mums' place has been used many times in drama before but still effective. The fight at the end was brutal but compelling. A poster upthread suggested her bf looked like the one who ruined Kerry Katona. Harsh 😳 Got to say I liked her ex husband too. Nice difference to many dramas where they show the ex as bad and the new guy as good. Not always that clear cut.

Bit of an anticlimax.
Completely non believable that she would not have a car that worked given her job and her vulnerable daughter. The whole thing with the daughters and hitch hiking was daft. You smack a blokes head against a wall and he dies, smack a woman's and she brushes it off. |

Hmm well that was 3 hours of my life I won't get back. Maybe spoilt by previous Scandi dramas but this was a bit murder mystery by numbers, which to me had a complete lack of suspense plus some hammy acting (or maybe that was Swedes trying to act American)

Started strongly. Really liked the first couple of episodes, by the end, it was too far fetched.
. I think the main woman was the dive teacher in '30 degrees in February' a Scandinavian drama based in Thailand... |
