Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBased on the popular BBC Radio 4 dramas "Annika Stranded" (her surname is in program notes as "Strandhed") which also starred Nicola Walker, but is set in Norway. The radio series ran 2013-2020 and the episodes are 15 minute monologues. These have sound effects but only Annika speaks, either addressing other characters or confiding to the listener. Similarly, in the TV series Annika talks to the viewers through the 'fourth wall'. Writer Nick Walker reuses/modifies some of the plots. In the radio series Annika has a son Tor whose father is an officer in 'the Reindeer Police'.

Featured review
Tales explain crimes
Brilliant and clever! The stories Annika tells are echoed in the script for example bridges means the architecture that is seen and the connections that are made. I love it when everything is not spelled out for me but allows me to interpret and construct from the material which gives depth to the drama unfolding. The humour used by Annika is also enjoyable and different. The themes are explained in the stories and echoed when the crime is solved. I think many have not understood what is being used like analogies and figures of speech. The other detectives are portrayed well by the actors and provide a mix of characters to help solve each of the crimes. The setting is a bonus with great scenery. It is worth at least an eight because compared to other police procedurals it has depth and layers of meaning.
