Forhøret (2019–2023)
8/10
Face to face is is a technical conceit. Writing strong
14 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Each episode of this show is very short, from 22 to 30 mins each (by eight episodes). Where the title becomes relevant, and it's also the show's technical conceit, is that each ep features the detective-father character being face-to-face with someone he is interviewing (in order to find his daughter's murderer). So, that's technically innovative for a TV show.

What also reveals itself with each ep is the nature of the detective-father, as violent and perhaps a poor father to his daughter. And then there's how well he knew (or didn't know) his daughter, with what he finds out about her. So this series is playing purposefully with what we know and when we do, in ways very relevant to character. It works all pretty well.
