Jakten på en mördare

Melancholic & methodical. Slow & non-spectacular. The objective, slow-panning camera tells the bleak True Crime-story masterfully.

This is far by the best Swedish Police series, about true crimes. Please make season 2, season 3...it's very good to evertbody to remember these victims and cases. The reality must be seen. People have to learn to take more precaution now days. Thanks for this series. RIP to all the victims. 🌹

Best Swedish crime serie I have ever seen. So real and intense in slow Scandinavian way. I hope the last episode is going to be good as the whole serie have been. Just excellent.

Excellent drama doc with great cast and script based on true story. Thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend.

In Sweden, the horrific muder of a young girl in the 1980s took almost 20 years to solve. Other murders (just one of which proved to be linked) and departmental politics obstructred progress; but one thing that 'The Hunt of a Killer', a dramatisation of the police investigation, shows is just how difficult it can be to find the evidence needed to close a case. It's an unmelodramatic reconstruction, and in many ways a depressing one: the killer was a lone actor and societal misfit, whose behaviour was alarming in many respects but which went unchecked while his darkest deeds remained hidden. As at a least a semi-normal person, it's horrifying to see what human beings are capable of if allowed to go far enough wrong.
