@Ambroos
The screenwriting is well done, but so are most scandinavian series, so thats no big surprise. The actors all have plenty of acting experience and it's production value is high, so a quality series overall. I watched it with dutch subs, since i dont understand danish :-) Looking at your other series you seen/follow, you will like it just fine. Anyone who likes drama with a decent story will like it just fine, lots of character development. Season 2 already has a proper ending so they could have end it decent already, but its to popular since they allready greenlighted season 3.
