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.

I love this show, interesting characters, realistic crimes and reactions.

Its not exactly Scandi noir because it's city based - but it has the strong female characters of Scandi noir along with a pacey police procedural. I've no idea why it's not more highly rated, it's Definitely worth your time.

The acting is strong, there's a true underlying essence of how and why the police stick together in the worst of situations because no one should really need to make the decisions they do under extreme pressure of day to day policing issues, really it's no wonder Post traumatic stress disorder is so prevalent in the forces, realistically there's major issues with how it's set up.

The demise of most TV series like films is a poor script and that's the big problem here. This appears to be a spin off or sequel to a 2008 series "Irene Huss", I never saw it. As a previous reviewer said, this series wants us to believe that a trainee cop is given all these special assignments, because the trainee is so intelligent and her mom is a high ranking police officer The lead character Katarina Huss makes plenty of dumb mistakes as would be expected from any trainee. If she had been a highly intelligent university student in criminology or a close subject, it would be more believable but this series jumps the shark. That she's the hero of the episodes is stupid.

I tend to enjoy European police procedurals, but other than some beautiful locations and a few good actors, watch "Beck" or "Wallander" (Swedish or British versions) if you want to see good Swedish police dramas.

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.

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.
