-May contain spoilers for those who want to watch the original danish version
I am almost halfway through the second episode but already angry by many things. If you watched the original danish version you will understand that they got everything wrong. I am only comparing it to the original because they tried to replicate it or at least the majority of events.
1- The characters have different personalities .. here they are too different, weak, and artificial. The writing, acting, the pace of events, and some changes in the story just shattered the complexity of the characters.
2- Moving too fast. a case in the original was presented in 1hr.30min which made sense because the whole purpose was to catch the killer by understanding him first. I must say in this version the killers lack depth -or at least so far.
3- Poor direction, production, and acting made it difficult to set the dark tone and suspension required for such plot.
4- I noticed that they are trying to integrate the backstory of Catherine but again too fast as I said earlier the characters are different and as I understood from the original ,the lead figures were to immersed in their jobs and didn't have much to share but they had these glimpses which through them were connecting and the viewer was able to grasp their personalities and friendship.
I don't understand how could they ruin such a beautiful show when everything was given to them.
