I usually enjoy international series and try to watch in the language of the country of origin with English subtitles. I am older now and find that actors talk at the speak of light and it is difficult to keep up with the subtitles. But I guess this is today's realism - mumbling and cramming as much dialogue as possible into a few seconds. But re the plot, it left a lot to be desired. I did enjoy the protagonist cop, Martin, but found the repeated telephone calls from the extremely annoying "Charlene" unbearable. She was always hysterical, blurting out one or two sentences, and always had to hang up. Her connection to Martin revealed at the end of the series was not worth the price of having to listen to these calls. And, at the end, she is hysterical at having had a miscarriage when she planned to have an abortion all along. And, Martin, really. Six episodes of nose bleeds? Take a blood pressure pill at least. Everyone's on them. Won't bother to comment on the villains who are disposed of along the way. But, there was a laughable segment dealing with Julian's hair found at the initial crime scene. The police only assumed one method of an insider obtaining this hair and that was by cutting. But anyone could figure that trace hairs could have been left on clothing, bedding etc. and any number of personnel could have had access. But, the ending has Julian escaping, running up a snow covered expanse with little more than a sweater on rather than take Martin's car. I do hope he has become one of the Frozen Dead and that there will be no Season 2.
