I don't usually review on one episode. This show I think could be a real game changer for Nordic Noir and maybe just maybe influence series to come. We have all seen the greats and classics over the last 15 years. . But the way this is filmed and written takes you back to the period from where the true story came. Lot's of really unusual direction and camera shots, with a vidio/super 8 feel. And a cast full of un familiar faces delivering the kind of performance that totally engaged me. Enjoy...
I am not one to give a 10 . But it cannot be anything less. All actors are good, no, great. And It's just the way it was at the time. Scary to see all the incompetence within the police, and the envy of those good cops from the mediocre. All the ridicolus blue tape. I guess it was about this time Swedish police startet going downhill. Today they solve 10% of murders. Against 90% in the neighbouring countries.
It's very scary, because it could happen to me. In my house.

In Sweden, the horrific muder of a young girl in the 1980s took almost 20 years to solve. Other murders (just one of which proved to be linked) and departmental politics obstructred progress; but one thing that 'The Hunt of a Killer', a dramatisation of the police investigation, shows is just how difficult it can be to find the evidence needed to close a case. It's an unmelodramatic reconstruction, and in many ways a depressing one: the killer was a lone actor and societal misfit, whose behaviour was alarming in many respects but which went unchecked while his darkest deeds remained hidden. As at a least a semi-normal person, it's horrifying to see what human beings are capable of if allowed to go far enough wrong.
This six part series tells the real life story of the hunt to catch the murderer of ten year old Helen Nilsson. The officer place in charge of the investigation has no experience of murder cases and makes little progress as his team is flooded with information from members of the public reporting every slightly odd person in the area. Experienced investigator Per-Åke Åkesson is keen to be given the case but those in charge refuse his request. As he notices similarities with other crimes he starts running a parallel unofficial investigation alongside Monica Olhed and another officer. Years pass and still the police are no closer to the killer; to make things worse Per-Åke's bosses seem more interested in form filling than crime solving.
I found this to be a gripping series; it shows how different things are in reality to fictional crime drama... a serious case runs for years and years without serious suspects emerging and the petty bureaucracy which expects police to plan a year in advance despite the nature of crime making that ludicrous. Unlike fiction every new murder is a very real tragedy. The cast do a really good job giving realistic understated performances. Overall an impressive series; definitely worth watching even if it is quite depressing at times.

Realistic. A bit depressing, but well done. In Sweden (Ep.3, 17 min mark), 2 detectives chasing predators visit an elderly male counsellor. He shows them 3 normal looking male 'patients'. All are serious offenders-all 3 want to stop. 'They can't stop', says the counsellor gloomily.
Eventually (years later) DNA technology catches up to the correct predator. Scary. Not a cheery Hollywood style or ending. Great for true crime buffs.
