Not perfect – the ending was a bit over-the-top – but quite good. I’m a huge fan of Nordic noir and serial killer mysteries, and the show was plenty creepy, with lots of weird symbology and horrific murders. It reminded me a bit of True Detective.
More than anything, I really loved the two lead detectives and their chemistry. In Season 1, this chemistry was only really professional. They worked well together, supported each other once they got past the initial awkwardness of working with a new partner, and in the end they solved the case and stopped the killer. Spoilers ahead.
