    I can't get that excited about it to be honest. It lacks subtlety and finesse.
    each to his own

    fro enthusiasts of scandi telly there is an interview with Sofie Grabol here
    According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

      Weirdest misspelling yet.

      You must have been thinking of Asperges me, Domine, hyssopo et et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.

          I think male viewers at least are still feeling numbed by that kick, antongould. They really should have had a health warning before the programme

            oh yes the kick!

            Rohde and Noren are a magnificent pair of chracters and have a real chemistry because his flat acceptance of her is both true and wonderful writing and casting acting etc

            the moment when Saga is talking with Hans about herself [he thinks] while she thinks she is profiling the perp was awesome

                - superb writing and acting: simultaneously funny and scary.

                  I'm not sure if it's just me but I find that I need to rewatch last night's episodes just to get things clear in my head, in other words, I don't wish to lose the plot! But yes, Saga and Martin are indeed a wonderful double act, and I now find myself warming to her. I'm really enjoying it and all the sub-plots and, possibly, red herrings.

                    That was brilliant and chilling. It reminded my of the wonderful moment in Minghella's film of "The Talented Mr Ripley" when the double reflections of Ripley's head in the polished piano lid seem to symbolise a split/double personality.

                    Are we supposed to think that Saga will be helped in the hunt by the fact that the perp has the same 'syndrome' as she does, so she can think herself inside his head...?

                    I thought Ep 4 was particularly exciting (the morse code device re: the hostage rather good).

                    I'm hooked as well, anton - and for all sufferers, this doc aired in the early hours and produced by BBC News will be of interest:

                    "...the isle is full of noises,
                    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                      Yes Caliban Lady Gould is hooked and cannot wait for next week's episodes - being a lady of rare insight she terms it "The Killing with humour..." - I think the middle of the night phone "conversations" are superb!

                      Thanks for the link.

                                Agreed, aCDJ!
                                'Pedestrian''?? I think not. Murders themselves intriguing. Interesting that they have already given us a sight of the perpetrator - wonder why they are doing it so early?

                                Interaction between the two detectives and their surrounding teams is fascinating. I bet Scandinavia gets much more of the subtleties than we do? unless you think English / Scottish cops interacting maybe? And to have the laid back one having to work with the full-on Aspergers one? Dialectic or what?

                                < the moment when Saga is talking with Hans about herself [he thinks] while she thinks she is profiling the perp was awesome. That was brilliant and chilling.>
                                Indeed, and the thing is replete with asides like that.

                                And Saga's staring, unblinking, uncomprehending eyes! As if everybody but herself was some new species to be analysed before accepting?
