Just started watching this on iPlayer, and enjoying it so far. For anyone who's not seen it, it's a Danish crime thriller (subtitled) about the murder if a young girl.

There are a number of suspects do far, and a political angle to the story so far. If you're a fan of Scandinavian crime (as I am), I'd recommend it to you. I've enjoyed the original Wallander (not so much the Branagh version) on TV and the books, as well as Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole, and an Icelandic series whose name escapes me.

BBC4 show two back to back episodes on a Saturday night between 9-11, and all 6 episodes to date are still available on iPlayer.

I've seen all 6 so far as well and agree it is really good. I Like these kind of shows that cover just one murder for the whole series, it requires patience as it's slow moving and detailed but all the more rewarding because of that.
