Fallet

Fallet is an enjoyable surprise. I was expecting a Wallander-like, dark, depressing Swedish noir but what I found is a great spoof on Swedish and British police procedural with some Scandinavian PC thrown in. Pray for a second season.

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.

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)

It's like a comedy version of The Bridge or The Killing but still has a proper storyline and I watched it in one sitting as each of the 8 episodes is only 30 minutes. The acting by Adam Godley and Lisa Hanni makes the most of a very good script. I really think you should see it !!

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.
