It's literal a sight for sore eyes. Viewing this is a balm for the soul. It pushes away all the doomsday chatter. Watching this one at a time is like taking a vacation without leaving home. Traveling with a historical background as the episodes are written so well. It's simply lovely. It's hard to imagine being able to see this nation like this because one can't but viewing this! I've been watching 'foreign' programming because they take such pride in showing us where they live. But to think we have all this! I'm blown away with each new episode. It's like soul food for the eyes! Highly recommended.

Started watching Commissioner Rex a year ago (the German original) and was fun to see the relationship's beginning to add to this story. Here he tells it, there you see it. I don't have any problems with subtitles, and prefer 'foreign' stuff for the larger world view oftentimes, so I'm still watching it as healthy alternative to a lot of fare these days. It went on for seasons and seasons (the German series), and once the smart big guy got too old they brought in a new smart big guy to carried on. It's a huge hit there and looks like it's going to be in North America/Canada as well. Lovely scenery to boot.

I rate high generally because, even if it is David E. Kelley, making and getting programs aired is a lot of work. So it was written and created by a successful professional with lots of scores under his belt, but possibly not in touch with reality. Is this his world, perhaps? Not mine. It's the script that stuns me, and not in a good way. It's begging me to question whether people talk like this here in the USA nowadays. The degrading vocabularies in this series don't seem necessary to tell the story, or is that just me? In the DC area, I don't know any group of citizens in the business area or at the curb or partners who talk like this. Also, as a lover of Finnish and all 'foreign' series, I've never heard even them address each other like this! But she's Belgian, not Finnish. Only Belgians don't speak like this in meetings, but they'd be closer than the Fins. And as for the role-reversing 'messages,' I won't even touch on them.
