I have now watched four out of six episodes, and I think that is enough. It is not getting any better. This production is slow, uninteresting, and seemingly very low-budget. More like some student production. Also, several of the actors are not right for their parts.
I think the main problem is that this production was made too soon after the tragic events. Because of this, the producers have to beat about the bush at all times. For instance, the suspected perpetrator Peter Madsen is never mentioned by name, and he is never shown (no actor is playing him). This becomes completely absurd - you cannot make a criminal series without showing the suspect! If you think you cannot, why not wait 10 or 20 years, or however long it takes, until you think that you CAN show him in picture?
There are also other things that are odd, such as that they try to push the story forwards and divulge the events, by letting some unlikely person - for instance Kim Wall's mother or father - utter something random about it. Which they most likely did not do in reality.
The submarine does not look right either, and Madsen's workshop (which in reality is/was an old hangar) certainly does not look like that in reality. And what has Jens Møller's and his daughter's personal lives got to do with anything?
Also, everybody knows the outcome of this story, and many people also still remember the details, so there is no excitement or mystery factor. It is not _impossible_ to make an interesting movie or TV-series about events that everybody knows of - but in that case it must be much better than this, if it shall be worth-while watching it.
