Pretty good, just so slow.

Jo is totally confused by Rob's actions, one minute he's screaming at her, the next he's romancing her.

Incredibly slow paced once again, it is almost hard to concentrate, and stay focused, as it takes an age to progress.

The major strengths here are the acting, and the visuals. This series looks incredible, this episode in particular is stunning, great location work and filming, it's very visually appealing.

Unfortunately it is hard to follow, as it does jump about at times, I feel here that six episodes for this was overkill, maybe four would have been better.

Slow, 5/10.

Episode 3

Half way through the series. Jo's daughter Sash comes to visit with her husband.

The husband has tattoos like the ones in Jo's flashbacks. It seems she has been having an affair with her daughter's husband.

Meanwhile Rob is pressuring Jo for money to salvage his estate agency business. He is also acting in a passive-aggressive manner.

To keep the Scandi atmosphere going. There are references to tales about mermaids and Jo goes to see her father. It all looks like padding at the moment.

The show needed to introduce more suspects. Although Sash appeared briefly in the opener. I thought having her and her husband in the third episode was rather late in the day.

I still think Rob is in pole position as to have injured Jo. He is just too slimy and spins too many lies.
