- john___matrix 7y agoReally enjoyed that, [The Tunnel](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2711738/0 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2711738/0) is also the same theme set in the Channel Tunnel which is also worth a watch although not quite as Nordic Noir
- zhengyi13 7y agoI finally got to watch the 1st season of this on Danish Netflix earlier in the summer, and enjoyed the hell out of it - the interplay between the detectives was amazing, and I loved the frequently comic moments in the bleak nastiness. Can anyone tell me if subsequent seasons are worth trying to find here in the US?
- jat850 7y agoBeing very honest, the first season was by far the best for me. I enjoyed and watched the remainder, but the feel of the first was incredibly difficult to replicate. I would still recommend watching the rest.
- atombender 7y agoI think they're all great, and definitely recommending seeking them out. I prefer seasons 1-2, story wise, but the 3-4 are also very clever, and further develop Saga's character in poignant ways. Kim Bodnia leaves after season 2, and is certainly missed, but Thure Lindhardt, who replaces him in seasons 3-4, is also excellent, and a more complex, less trope-based character (though he does have a traumatic past).
- aratauto 7y agoWarning: there is a US show "The Killing" that is an adaptation of the original show (originally called "Forbrydelsen"). While the US version initially starts as a shot-by-shot remake, after a few episodes the story diverges quick significantly.
- brnt 7y agoI preferred the American version though, it wasn't quite as depressing but no less atmospheric.
