Huss

This is a clever show centred around a rookie, Katarina Huss, played by Karin Franz Korlov, wherein she grapples with many ethical problems that confront her as a policewoman. The cast is exceptional especially Anders Berg and Filip Berg. I don't think they are related but they are really great actors who play their characters so well. This is a very engrossing series because as a rookie, Katarina has to learn fast and really question her values and her integrity along the way. It never fails to address the hard issues that confront police officers every day in the carrying out of their duties and after watching it, I was more aware of what these difficulties are in being a good, as opposed to a bad, police officer. This is a great addition to the world of televised police dramas.

Particularly the Scandinavians have learned to produce (and like?) police series with strong yet feminine policewomen trying and often succeeding in contriving in the men´s world... But the novelty has passed and the quality often depends on the cases to solve and on the performers to catch the eye (or not)...

I can´t say that Karin Franz Körlof is too pleasant to follow and the cases she is involved are not too interesting either, in come cases I could guess the wrongdoer at an early stage. The "big secret" as a certain leitmotif through all episodes was also somewhat trivial. On the other hand, I did not have high hopes here, thus I am not disappointed, and the inclusion of performers not being part is every Swedish series is a plus as well. Thus, 7/10 seems reasonable.

Karin Franz Körlof is standout as Katarina Hoss in this binge watchable high quality TV series from Sweden. All the cast are good, and the direction is top notch. While the procedure maybe stretched beyond credibility at times and Katarina is too much of a loan wolf to be a real team player that's the whole point and you can't help but follow her progress... The plots are good, especially Episode Four which is edge of your seat working on several levels. Looking forward to Season Two.

The idea is good. Modern policing from a trainees viewpoint ... pretty frightening.

What lets it down is Huss finding herself as part of a investigation team only days after having joined the uniformed force as a trainee.

It is the same in episode 2, although worse. Huss seems Hell bent on losing her job. Again she is drafted into the homicide team. Sleeps with the boss, joins a police vigilante team and constantly goes her own way and disobeys orders.

It continues in this vain and get worse throughout the series.

It is disappointing because the idea and crime stories deserved more.

The character of Huss is just not credible as is her involvement in the cases in the first few weeks of of her "training". The ending is just a joke.

I stream on D-Plus n they don't have any drama serie that I know about, exept thos one.
