This crime series delivered exactly what I expect from Scandinavian production. At first, I even wondered if it wasn’t inspired by Bron a little too much, but the Finns decided to go their own way and they did a pretty good job overall. The series did have a few flaws, though. Namely, the second season was unbalanced in quality, and the conclusions to most of the individual cases seemed kind of half-baked and hasty, but I was satisfied on the whole.

Not to fall behind, the Finnish also had to film a depressive detective movie with an original detective character, which takes place in their world. Almost everyone from Scandinavia had already done so, therefore Sorjonen was next in line. Personally I must admit that I was satisfied. The detective is weird in a good sense of the word, the setting is gloomy, industrial, wooded, frozen... in short, good, Finnish. And that is what I appreciate and I like getting back to that world. For example precisely with this detective story.
