Another Entertaining Scandanavian Cop Show
Unlike a Swedish reviewer here I really liked the 'Van Veeteren' episode 'Fallet G'.
I thought the plot easy to follow but providing an interesting situation with complex motivations. Acting styles vary throughout Europe and each country's culture and national identity play a part in the way various scenarios are presented and the participants react.Northern Europeans seems less excitable than their Mediterranean counterparts and certain dramatic scenes are not necessarily marked with emotional outbursts and loud delivery - but this in no way diminishes their impact. The variety of styles from Europe enriches movie and television productions.
I like Scandanavian acting and Sven Wolter's performance as a seemingly retired bumbling old policeman with a sharp mind and driven personality is spot on in my opinion. Like Beck, Maria Wern, Irene Huss and various Danish entries, this is good entertainment.
