The murderer makes his presence known and chooses sharp-witted tabloid journalist Daniel Ferbe to act as middle man to communicate with the outside world. The murder on the bridge was only the beginning, and the purpose of that heinous act was to draw attention to the unpleasant truths and problems in society that most turn a blind eye to, the first one being that 'we are not all equal before the law'. Saga and Martin now realise they are dealing with a ruthless killer. (BBC)

The well-executed plot gets a solid five-star rating from me. The collaboration between the Swedish and Danish creators results in a story that's not only very interesting but also boasts a high-quality, raw atmosphere. The central investigator duo is superbly written and performed. Kim Bodnia is always a reliable choice in my opinion, and while I hadn't heard of Sofia Helin before diving into the series, I quickly developed a fondness for her in the role of Saga. / Lesson learned: Sometimes, there is such a thing as too many emotions.
