Fallet

Like for many, this just popped up on Netflix and I was expecting a dark, gritty, Nordic Noir, of which I am a fan.

This series brilliantly parodies the above genre, but like all good spoofs, it does it with soul, it does it with a genuine love of the subject.

The crime baseline is plausible and casting is solid. It's a refreshing contrast to it's darker counterpoint.

A short one season murder mystery series. One main character is British and the other Swedish. The British guy is played as a bit of a bumbling fool who is cast out due to poor performance. The unlikely duo link up to solve a murder and in so doing untangle the mess that are their personal lives. Enjoyable, but the switching between English and Swedish can be hard to keep up with as a non Swedish speaker (forgetting to check the subtitles)

Fallet is an enjoyable surprise. I was expecting a Wallander-like, dark, depressing Swedish noir but what I found is a great spoof on Swedish and British police procedural with some Scandinavian PC thrown in. Pray for a second season.

Funny and cool with everyone playing their role to the max. Keeps you wondering who the biggest knuckleheads are and all done with straight faces!
