I stumbled upon this series like I do so many and being a fan of Nordic Noir, thought I'd give it a watch, and was quite intrigued to find out it was based on a real life murder investigation in the late 1990's, early 2000's.
Having watched this series, yes there are elements that are manufactured for dramatic purposes, but in essence it's a true story, that I find utterly appalling is that the Police seemed to have been so lax and ineffectual in their investigations initially, and they pretty much side-lined the best detective they had, who was later relentless in his investigations, with little or no help from his superiors, I find this just unbelievable.
A really thought provoking insight into Police practices in the late 1990's early 2000's, I just hope they have learned from these mistakes in the later years.
