Intense. Too Long.
Someone compared this to Scandi-noir, and I think it's an accurate description of the story of a German detective who shows up after being missing for six days with no memory of what happened to her or to the baby she was about to deliver.
In turns, various theories are considered and pursued, usually accompanied by shouting, drawn guns and red herrings, and while all of the leads seem to have some merit, this series falters in taking too long to investigate each. At some point, you almost give up caring and just start hating everyone.
That's not to say the series is bad; it just needed a sharp-eyed editor to cut it down to about four hours for better storytelling. The resolution feels a bit rushed and is quite surprising (or was to me), but it is satisfactory on the whole.
