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.

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)

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

A solid tv show, captivating and well developed. The dual language was interesting and worked for this show. Held interest through each episode and the characters developed nicely.

Didn't have anything better to watch so just decided to start this series and stop if I get bored or didn't find it to my liking. Once I started, I went through all the episodes in one sitting. The series plays out like a spoof of the dark Nordic crime thrillers which have brcome quite popular. The two lead characters are bumbling detectives who were forced to team up to solve a serial killer case to save their careers. They were slightly absurd but still believable. After a while, you'll find yourself rooting for them. While I found the ending to be predictable, it's still a fun ride. Worth a watch.
