Superbly layered drama. ... The action here is, like all the rest, set against spectacular landscapes, packed with blood-freezing encounters and virtuoso plot turns. In this 10-part series, every episode lives. No small achievement.

A new Nord Noir Norwegian series based on two novels by Jørn Lier Horst, a great author. In consequence, there are two denouements an two endings to two stories in this one series, Not as great as the Killing or the Bridge. Not even as good as Modus 1, but still an eminently viewable series, highly enjoyable and recommendable to the admirers of the genre.
