I like your conclusion!

I watched the series… It’s written by thinking people. It gives the audience a chance to become involved in the story and come to their own conclusions. It’s well written. It shows how money can buy absolution when it is not deserved. His wife deserved her story to be told. Many women are victims of being silenced by partners, media, police, society and the government. The journalists were also laid victim to being silenced, trying to write truth with both of their hands tied behind their back. It leaves you wondering who needs protection the wealthy or the missing victims? Another case of money over people.

I totally agree. We Americans can rarely tell a story of crime as deep as this without relying on horrible depictions of violence. If Nordic noir is known for this level of thoughtfulness and depth then I’m going to watch more of them! I’m grateful there was so little violence shown while at the same time there was a palpable sense of danger underneath. What is truly fascinating is not violence but the mystery itself and all the questions it raises about human behavior and motivation. I think letting us stare into the eyes of the characters is not “slow” but rather puts us in the same position the police are in – who is telling the truth?

I’m a retired LEO, and maybe I just couldn’t stand to watch such terrible police work, evidently in the real case also.

There was not enough real evidence to strongly suspect the husband let alone arrest him, at least not here in the united states.
