Det som göms i snö

As my title goes this is one of the best Swedish criminal shows I've seen! It contains a bunch of awesome actors and a great storyline. I didn't Think that Robert Gustafsson was going to be able to do this role as good as he did since he is most known for doing funny roles but I Think he was perfect for the role and I'm hoping for a 2nd season! I can highly recommend this series for anyone who likes a well made criminal series.

Just came out. Didn't know how good this would be when I spotted it on Acorn TV streaming. Wow. After suffering from withdrawal symptoms from "The Bridge," so glad we found this. It builds up slowly and is not fast-paced until the end. This is not an action thriller. The crew of misfits that make up the new Cold Case unit soon stumbles into a politically charged murder case. Wonderfully, understated acting keeps you glued to your seat wondering which twist and turn will happen next. Highly recommended.

I'm about 4 series into my discovery of Scandinavian Noir and rather enjoyed this one. I had no idea Robert Gutsafsson was a known comedic actor until I read other reviews which made me enjoy his performance as Peter even more. But my favorite thing about this one is the performances by the ladies. Ia Langhammer steals every scene she's in. She's simply magical! Maria Sondbom Lorelius is daring as she finds her way to her own brand of justice in a male dominated world. I'm also such a fan of the b story with Christopher Wagelin and Louise Peteroff. She's the wild card of the bunch but you always know to trust her instincts. Beautifully shot and yet another series I stand in amazement of set decoration and lighting. I swear Swedes are the most clean living people on the planet. Looking forward to another season.

This is right up my street. I'm part Swedish, born in England and am just drawn to this type of drama. It must be in my genes! This is a cut above the normal police procedural with interesting, multi faceted characters, a believable take on mental illness and a fascinating plot of false confession, cold case detectives unravelling a labyrinth of lies and bureaucracy and believable personal dramas. All the lead characters are well played, engaging and the lack of sentimentality is quite refreshing. The suburbs of Stockholm are well used and ground the show in real life. It's based on a true story, the red herrings, plot twists and surprises come thick and fast and the rather grim story is lifted at just the right moments with wit and wry humour. Like a lot of these type of shows, it starts quite slowly but you'll be rewarded if you stick with it.

Robert Gustafsson is Peter Wendel, leader of the cold case group at the Stockholm Police who will be a legal guardian of the tracks. His team consists a odd collection of people with mutual frosting relationships. Despite collaborative difficulties, they soon find signs that an innocent man has been convicted of murder. But the investigation is complicated by Wendel's messy privacy and unstable psyche.
