Let's face it: it's difficult to see an original police drama these days. There's just so much film production going on that writers simply can't keep up.
On the other hand, you don't necessarily need a completely original story to enjoy a whodunnit. A few tweaks and changes here and there, good production, decent acting and and job done.
So this series manages to provide enough plot twists and suspense to keep you interested - and as an added bonus, it's rather short. Production and acting are indeed solid, so I would say, it' enjoyable and very much watchable.
If I had a couple of objections, these would be: 1. I understand this is Nordic Noir, but man was it dark. You better watch it in a dark room because, put simply, in 6 episodes I don't remember one person turning on a light bulb. You simply can't see what's happening in some scenes.
2. There are so many clichés in action scenes, that it makes you wonder if there is some particular reason really. Sometimes it just feels that people behave in stupid ways to get the plot going. I really do hope to see the filmmaking industry getting past the point where they need someone to walk alone in a dark house (only to be blindsided a few seconds later) to get things going.
