Nice show in the vein of Bordertown. Saw the twist coming by the last 2 episodes, but was still well done nonetheless - super suspenseful. Characters were a little harder to relate to - Kata was relatable but Arnar you never quite got the full picture of his backstory, wish they would’ve gone into it a little more. [spoiler]Certainly feel bad for all the boys who were at that foster home, no wonder one of them went crazy![/spoiler]

A great Icelandic police procedural series that highlighted the dilapidated individuals in an institution that is supposed to provide protection and justice to victims of crime.

I was sure you guys would be more and more attached to this series because each episode was getting more mysterious. However, when the series had two episodes remaining, the series became predictable.

A solid, well acted Nordic Noir mystery. It would appear to be a miniseries since the title refers to the specific case ([spoiler]which is all but resolved by the end - Petur is presumed dead but you never know, I guess[/spoiler]), which is a shame because the dynamic between Kata and Arnar by the end ([spoiler]certainly with what they went through in the final[/spoiler]) felt like a good springboard for further investigations together. I also feel like Arnar's storyline [spoiler]with his sister was left somewhat unresolved; will she leave her controlling husband? There was also never a clear answer as to Arnar's alienation but reading between the lines, I am guessing his family belonged to a homophobic religious sect and so once Arnar came out he was basically rejected[/spoiler].

I'd be pleased to see it come back with a whole new mystery but they'd need to improve the quality and intrigue/novelty of the case for it to have legs in the long term.

The original title of the series is Brot.
