Essential viewing, pure and simple. Strong, patient progress through an excruciatingly difficult puzzle, a real-life police investigation that becomes a test of mental and physical strength for all involved. No glitz, no melodrama, no grandstanding. The accused is never seen. The details of the sea search are fascinating and well explained, carried out by men who will not give up. The acting is quiet and real. We connect with the characters and can sense their thoughts and feelings, often without them having to say anything. When the breakthrough finally comes, it's extremely heartening to see who makes the connection. Featuring some familiar faces from other Nordic Noir series including the always-watchable Pilou Asbaek and Soren Malling. Even the dogs make their contribution to the powerful emotional pull. I cannot praise this highly enough.
