Twin (2019)
Gritty and fast paced. If you love Skandi drama then it's worth giving Twin a lookin.
Firstly, you need to ignore the fact that the story does rely so heavily on the characters behaving irrationally in order not to get found out. But then in many gripping dramas if the characters behaved logically then the story would be over in one episode.
However this series is compelling drama. Kristofer Hivju is an excellent actor (Beck/Game of Thrones) and produces some very strong characters with his slightly sinister and studying expression. He is perfectly cast for the part of Adam/Erik. Gunnar Eiriksson, in his first TV role, plays Frank the young detective who appears to be the only policeman to take serious interest in the case of the twins and it's great to watch him pull the pieces of the jigsaw together as the series progresses.
Beautiful acting, intense story-line and breathtaking scenery.
Death in Paradise: Now You See Him, Now You Don't (2020)
Sadly DI Neville Parker's endless medical issues are just being done to 'death'.
I understand that the series producers and writers need to give each new Detective Inspector their own individual character but DI Neville Parker's endless stream of medical issues are just being overplayed to the point that they are no longer funny and are just becoming an irritation that is spoiling the show.
When Commissioner Selwyn Patterson said he would be glad to see him on the plane and to hope he doesn't return, I too was hoping the same thing.
As for the rest of this episode, I can only say that there have been much better, more intricate and well thought out plots than this one.
