Le tueur de l'ombre

Well acted and well scripted. I'm not sure how realistic the police work shown is but there are always compromises needed for a drama series. Excellent colloquial subtitles.

The perp plays his role really well, his r ships with co workers family & cop all add to the suspense...I easily binged this over a couple of days

Not sure what people are complaining about re the ending seemed fine to me.

I mean it's a tv show ffs relax & enjoy ... it's suitably icky as nordic noir should be but not gratuitous despite the grim opening.

Recommended!

Edit...watched season 1 last liked season 2 best!

This is the first review I have done and I felt compelled to do so.

A breathtaking series.

I do not want to give anything away, so will just say.

Take a deep breath, watch and enjoy.

On a technical note - very good subtitles in English. The words fitted the intonation etc of the actors.

You will not want to miss this one!!

I've only recently discovered this detective series on BBC 4, and watched its third incarnation. Frankly, I can't quite undersatnd why so many have entered negative reviews.

Having to read sub-titles is a nuisance but well worth while. The story is coherent and well acted and there's little in the way of extraneous noise or scenes. The chief character, Louise, comes across as a bit of a troubled soul at times but watching her think as she considers her response to questions, or seeks knowledge from suspects, is well done.

The story in series 3 is a good one and I've been gripped from the outset - if I hadn't been, I'd have given up long before the end. It's not perfect but it's well worth a mark of 8, and much better than many of the formulaic offerings from elsewhere.

I'd say this is as good as The Bridge and The Killing. Exciting throughout with great plot and acting and no time to look at a clock. Danish thriller at its best.

The only minor criticism is that some of the syncing of the fight and shooting scenes was a bit out but that's being very picky.

Come on season 2 !!
