About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grim, atmospheric Nordic mystery with a period setting and a steady investigation, similar in mood to Jägarna or The Hunt for a Killer; Not for you if you dislike slow burns or messy closure.
Pros: gripping period mystery; strong performances; bleak, immersive atmosphere | Cons: slow, deliberate pacing; uneven tone; distracting dirty-face look
