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 quoted my post but yours doesn't seem to relate in any way to mine.

Sorry but I'm confused now. It should have been reply to the Modus thread.

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

They reckon most people in such a situation are able to exert incredible strength, far beyond what they would normally be capable of.

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.

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.

If you read his reply above yours, I think he just clicked the wrong button.

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.

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'.

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.

The partner pointed it out as she left but she seemed to need to go regardless.

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

Suppose they both swerved to the other carriageway? Or she swerved and he didn't?

Oh how true. A couple of weeks ago I was sat in my car at the lights waiting for them to change. From my left a young women wearing earphones with head down glued to her phone stepped off the curb. She walked right into the side of my stationary vehicle.

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.

First words I said to my wife. Wouldn't work in the UK with all the dead eye dicks driving round.

But this is the Modus thread!!!!

I think we're going round in circles here. Quote instead of Add Reply.

Anyway, it's not important

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.

I was also very irritated by the fact she just switched her phone off when her child was calling her. What mother does that? She didn't even bother to call her daughter till the following morning.

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)

It certainly wasn't up there with Forbrydelsen or Bron/Broen.

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...

New series starts filming in January.

They really needn't bother......
