Darkness: Those Who Kill

Investigator Jan and profiler Louise constantly move around in the thrilling periphery of a murderer's view as they link a series of killings.

Scandinavians have a particular brand of mystery writing that I find very appealing. Their protagonists are usually flawed, harried and very human. In this case, the lead is a woman, a psychologist and, at times, a reluctant a profiler for law enforcement. Her character runs deep, seeing beyond the crime to the person, with boundless compassion stemming from her own awareness of her fallibilities. It is not fast moving, and the characters have a private stoicism about them, but I enjoyed every minute of the process. I give this series an 8 (great characters) out of 10, and I hope Viaplay, as it picked up the 3rd season, will give us a 4th and beyond. [Crime Drama]
Not in the same league as _The Killing_ or _Borgen_ but a solidly entertaining crime drama with a likeable lead in Natalie MadueƱo.
really good Danish drama worth watching
