Very tempted with this but can't find out much about it.

I'm four episodes in at the moment, what do you want to know about it? I'm hoping to see at least another couple over the weekend, so it might be better to ask me next week.

It's about a police officer whose daughter went missing 7 years ago. Her father then died and the daughter appears to be back, but now another child has gone missing instead. And her daughter is very weird indeed.

It's a bit gory in parts so far, and a bit... odd. Intriguing, but strange. I'm quite enjoying it so far, but it's very Swedish. Nothing like Broadchurch or Gracepoint. Stunning scenery though.

I finished the series this afternoon. Definitely worth a watch. A couple of "oh, that's why that happened", and at least one "aargh, scary thing that I didn't see coming!" moment. I'm not going to say any more, I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

I gave up on it after two episodes, poor acting and script (I suppose you have to be native Swedish speaker to find it irritating though) and a story that really wasn't for me.

I much prefer Bron/Broen.

Ah, you should stick with it! It got better. I nearly gave up on it after one episode for pretty much the same reasons (I spent the first half-hour wondering why ITV were hyping it so much when it was so dull...), but I was intrigued by certain things and kept on with it just to find out what was going on.

I never worked out what they were on about with the people with chopped-off tails, though. Why did they all collect different things? The "gold", stuff, the guns, the newspapers...

Thanks, but no thanks

The acting really grated me, and the accents of the Finnish characters were horribly wrong, it was so bad that I really couldn't watch it without shouting at the TV...

For those interested, it starts Wednesday 10th June.

Heads Up!
