Wow, these two TV series were a brilliant surprise for someone who normally doesn't watch sub titled stories.
Set initially in Denmark the story quickly revolves around various European countries and interaction between the different Police forces involved.
Very topical subjects including people trafficking, baby smuggling, illegal organ doner trafficking and various different continental mafia groups working together.
Apart from his personal loss and frustration. Top detective Rolf battles on pressuring the the 'higher ups' to investigate and resolve the various issues.
Some excellent acting from Rolf (Anders W. Berthelsen), his wife Maria (Johanne Louise Schmidt), Julita (Zofia Wichlacz) who loses her baby in the first series, Neel, Rolf's gung ho sidekick ( Olivia Joof Lewerissa) and the amazing Claire, French Police Investigator (Charlotte Rampling).
Gripping at times, I was hooked from the 1st episode.
Stopping me from giving 9 was the fact it wasn't always obvious that during some episodes we were actually going back a bit (i.e. A '3 months ago' would have maybe helped). There is room for a 3rd series, I hope that's on the cards.

Having stinted in NI 1973-1981 this thought provoking drama brough back some happy, and a lot more unhappy memories of NI (during 'the troubles').
Realistic, excellent action and tension, my only very minor point of technical correctness would be that when 'out on a shout' you always parked up with your vehicle 'pointing' outward to enable a speedy 'escape' should matters turn nasty (as they often did).
The early scenes in the Creggan like area were so very typical of what was happening in those days, and I guess from recent news coverage what is still happening right now.
Every police character had been well thought out, so believable, and inner tensions were excellently captured.
Like other reviewers I sincerely hope there will be more series to follow. Once again, well done to the BBC drama dept, sometimes you just 'hit the nail on the head' e.g. Line of Duty, Happy Valley, Last Tango in Halifax etc.

Reading the Weekend magazine (Mail on Saturday in the UK) this Prime series was recommended. Just watched the 1st episode and Wow, lots of promise here. 6 years after her 'death' Emily Byrne mysteriously returns being found by her husband who, at this point has remarried. Lots of intricacies are thrown up in episode 1, this series could run and run. Very dark, very watchable.....
