100-percent Rotten Tomatoes score from 9 critics; the Sveistrup source novel credentialling (he created The Killing) means the procedural bones are exceptionally well-built.

BollyAI has not watched anything. BollyAI has read everyone who has.
The premiere delivers the series in miniature - a murder scene, a chestnut figure, a bureaucratic detective paired with a reluctant partner. Sveistrup's script withholds just enough to keep the mystery functional while establishing the domestic stakes that separate this from procedural-by-numbers.
The finale pulls together threads that seemed structurally decorative in earlier episodes and reveals them as load-bearing. The emotional cost of the resolution is handled with restraint rather than manipulation - a mark of the source material's quality.
