Nainen joka katosi

One thing that struck me in this series was the wonderful lilacs blossoming in the gardens. It reminds me so much of my time there. I loved the scenes set in the metro too. I miss Finland.

The story though was a tad overcomplicated. Unfortunately, to be explained, the script had to revisit scenes from a previous episode to glean the context in the light of new revelations. That was a device used a bit too often. Nonetheless, the acting was good enough to convince - the shattered victim and the perp who held all the cards.

I'm not sure about how and why Linda fell so easily into Erkki's clutches to the extent of revealing long-hidden family secrets almost at the drop of a hat. Nor why she didn't query further the results of her own research into Erkki's deceptions about Rovaniemi.

So the series was a little too bitty and illogical to be completely successful. I watched it all within 24 hours and don't regret doing so. But there was just something missing.
