Perfectly decent Scandi detective series set against a stunning backdrop in the Faroes but turns into a very formulaic type of a show . The characters and their relationships begin to develop but never really get there and it is only through their on screen actions that you really get to know them as people . It is in no sense a slow-burner and except for one very well signposted twist ( slight turn ) the plot has few surprises . The Faroes' fishing traditions are skirted around and touched upon but then just peters out . I have to admit that I took huge exception to the trite , predictable and poorly done finale ! If ever an ending was written with a second series in mind then this was it and I would not be rushing to commission said second series.

Found this a tad disappointing. There are so many tropes in the plot. The show manages to retain some mystery around the main crime that is committed till the end of the season. Everything just seems predictable.

And the theme music reminds me of Teardrop by Massive Attack.

The scenery is breathtaking for the most part. The plot is lame & has been done many times over - big man who controls too much, a police officer who is economical with the truth & has a son to protect & investigative journalists, one of whom gets killed etc etc. Plot is probably worth 5/10 maybe, local actors 5.5, main cast saves acting overall, so 6.5 - 7/10. Ending sets up for season 2 if it gets made.

I like Danish crime, and this is made on the Feroe Island with nice nature scenery as a bonus. The episodes builds up tension pretty good, but unfortunately it lacks new inspiration. It has too many similarities with other crime series, and the revelation of who killed whom was dissapointing. But there might be a season two, so absolutely not bad, but it did not reach its full potential.

Good story, amazing landscape, but the acting from faroes cast is not good, sone are better and only 2 are good.

They are unemotional, they know the script, but are not in charecter. The danish cast is top acting, and the faroes are breathtaking.
