Loro uccidono - Nel buio della mente

I'd say this is as good as The Bridge and The Killing. Exciting throughout with great plot and acting and no time to look at a clock. Danish thriller at its best.

The only minor criticism is that some of the syncing of the fight and shooting scenes was a bit out but that's being very picky.

Come on season 2 !!

This is the first review I have done and I felt compelled to do so.

A breathtaking series.

I do not want to give anything away, so will just say.

Take a deep breath, watch and enjoy.

On a technical note - very good subtitles in English. The words fitted the intonation etc of the actors.

You will not want to miss this one!!

It was surprisingly entertaining and well-acted. It has a very refreshing story of a serial killer who targets male victims. It's kind of similar to the british The Fall (2013) in its structure in the way that we know who the killer is from the beginning but that doesn't take from the suspense. Towards the last couple of episodes there were some serious plotholes which annoyed me... When it's only one or two I can ignore it, but they started to pile up. However, I can still fully recommend this series because it was entertaining from beginning to end.

Channel 4 in the UK boasts that it shows a lot of foreign drama but BBC 4 shows quality foreign drama like this series.

Our government is leaning on the BBC to reduce costs and BBC 4 might disappear soon but until then it brings us dramas such as this.

No plot spoilers but this is a tense drama set in rural Denmark.

If this was American or on Netflix people would rave about how good it was but believe me it is good even if you have never heard of it.

I'm sure Denmark is a very nice country but after years of watching there excellent crime dramas I'm beginning to wonder if every other person is a psychotic violent killer! It can't be easy for the writers to come up with original ways to portray psychological serial killers but they do a pretty good job with Darkness those who kill. As always the detective heading the case and his assistant in this case a criminal psychologist played by the stunning Natalie Madurio have there own personal problems to deal with. I particularly enjoyed the opening of each episode which shows brief flashbacks of the perpetrators early lives and how it went towards turning out the way they did. All in all a very fine addition to the Nordic Noir genre. 8/10
