Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime fans. If you loved Dexter, start here.
The mood: Gritty.
The pace: 4 seasons: a few months of evenings.
What might put you off: It's in Danish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

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