About
If you enjoy grim Scandinavian crime stories with a faith-tinged mystery and steady tension, this should work for you; Not for you if child-abduction themes or bleak, disturbing material are dealbreakers, like in The Treatment.
Pros: gripping mystery hook; tense detective chase; dark, moody atmosphere | Cons: familiar cop stereotypes; uneven pacing later; disturbing child-focused themes
