À Caça de um Assassino

Realistic. A bit depressing, but well done. In Sweden (Ep.3, 17 min mark), 2 detectives chasing predators visit an elderly male counsellor. He shows them 3 normal looking male 'patients'. All are serious offenders-all 3 want to stop. 'They can't stop', says the counsellor gloomily.

Eventually (years later) DNA technology catches up to the correct predator. Scary. Not a cheery Hollywood style or ending. Great for true crime buffs.

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.

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.

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. 🌹

I don't usually review on one episode. This show I think could be a real game changer for Nordic Noir and maybe just maybe influence series to come. We have all seen the greats and classics over the last 15 years. . But the way this is filmed and written takes you back to the period from where the true story came. Lot's of really unusual direction and camera shots, with a vidio/super 8 feel. And a cast full of un familiar faces delivering the kind of performance that totally engaged me. Enjoy...
