The Hunt for a Killer

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...

I am not one to give a 10 . But it cannot be anything less. All actors are good, no, great. And It's just the way it was at the time. Scary to see all the incompetence within the police, and the envy of those good cops from the mediocre. All the ridicolus blue tape. I guess it was about this time Swedish police startet going downhill. Today they solve 10% of murders. Against 90% in the neighbouring countries.

It's very scary, because it could happen to me. In my house.

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.

Excellent drama doc with great cast and script based on true story. Thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend.

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. 🌹
