if you find yourself comfortable with foreign products, with subs, it won't feel so out of the ordinary, i'd guess. biggest problem it's faced is that it's not only an accessible kind of TV suddenly appearing here on a channel not exactly known for accessible material (bbc four), but that it's also being remade in america, and it's just lucky with lack of competition.įrom the reactions i've been reading to it on twitter, there's a sense a lot of people watching it wouldn't normally go near subbed tv (not that there's much of it around, but there's lots of subbed films out everywhere these days) and so it's kind of attracting an audience that finds it exotic - helps that it's from a country that doesn't normally export tv to the UK at all. It's pretty standard stuff, unfortunately. Over the course of twenty episodes, one for every day of the investigation, Copenhagen’s secret corruption and power struggles are intriguingly unravelled as the hunt for the killer intensifies and the truth becomes ever harder to find.Ĭritically acclaimed and billed as one of the finest murder investigation series ever produced, this riveting thriller is now yours to own. As the parents of the dead girl's parents and friends struggle to cope with their loss, a link is revealed between city hall and the murder, causing a dilemma for one of Copenhagen’s mayoral candidates. Lund’s plans for a new life in Sweden are put on hold as she can't bring herself to leave the case behind. The murder of a young girl launches Detective Sarah Lund into an extended police investigation. I know the US remake premieres on AMC tonight but for those who want to see the original series, it comes out tomorrow on DVD in the UK:

Apparently this crime/police procedural series is fantastic.
