Darkness: La huella del crimen

OK I know there were major plot holes and the end stretched reality, but overall this was a good thriller, well acted throughout. For me this is much better than most English dramas I have seen lately.

Well acted and well scripted. I'm not sure how realistic the police work shown is but there are always compromises needed for a drama series. Excellent colloquial subtitles.

This is the first review I have done and I felt compelled to do so.

A breathtaking series.

I do not want to give anything away, so will just say.

Take a deep breath, watch and enjoy.

On a technical note - very good subtitles in English. The words fitted the intonation etc of the actors.

You will not want to miss this one!!

The perp plays his role really well, his r ships with co workers family & cop all add to the suspense...I easily binged this over a couple of days

Not sure what people are complaining about re the ending seemed fine to me.

I mean it's a tv show ffs relax & enjoy ... it's suitably icky as nordic noir should be but not gratuitous despite the grim opening.

Recommended!

Edit...watched season 1 last liked season 2 best!

I've only recently discovered this detective series on BBC 4, and watched its third incarnation. Frankly, I can't quite undersatnd why so many have entered negative reviews.

Having to read sub-titles is a nuisance but well worth while. The story is coherent and well acted and there's little in the way of extraneous noise or scenes. The chief character, Louise, comes across as a bit of a troubled soul at times but watching her think as she considers her response to questions, or seeks knowledge from suspects, is well done.

The story in series 3 is a good one and I've been gripped from the outset - if I hadn't been, I'd have given up long before the end. It's not perfect but it's well worth a mark of 8, and much better than many of the formulaic offerings from elsewhere.
