Hi Alex. I'm curious if you watched the new Dept Q (there's an older Nordic one that's quite good). My husband and I watched it. We liked it pretty well till the end. It was dragged out overall - but most series are, so that was a mild mutter. We both liked the secondary team members a lot. The main actor gave an excellent performance, but his character felt sort of contrived - still entertaining once he began to be a bit likable. Dramatic conclusion. Then the 10 minute wrap up. Possibly the worst we've ever seen. We were both staring with our mouths hanging open. We've got a dangling psychopath, some cutesy blackmail in lieu of justice, and some cutesy almost goodbye scenes. Everyone else is praising this show to the skies. We're flummoxed.
I watched the first episode and I was flummoxed at the raves, too. Edinburgh was looking gorgeous but
--- SPOILERS----
The reveal at the end of Ep. 1 of where the lawyer is being held turned me completely off it. Predators don't abduct women to keep them in bunkers and torture them by blasting music. So wildly unrealistic I bailed.
I love Scott Frank's GODLESS and I might just watch that one again instead.
Great ideas, Alex. Practical and accessible.

Loved Godless. A real stunner. I might follow your example.
Hey Katherine! No surprise at all you loved it. I've already seen it three times but I know I'll see it several more.

It's revenge, not sexual. Still pretty over the top.
I knew it was revenge. Still offensively unrealistic!
