Wow!!
Added 2021-06-25 18:00:06 +0000 UTCWe watched the new series The Investigation on BBC IPlayer - wow! It's a tough watch and a slow burn, but really well done. The show covers the recent murder of journalist Kim Wall in Denmark after she boarded a homemade submarine. You might have heard it about - the story is equally bonkers and awful.
The show is obviously done in subtitles (so get ready to pay attention) but I really loved it. Great acting and although it was slow, I think it portrayed the investigation very close to reality.
Very good but be ready to watch something lighthearted before bed!

I'm not usually a Scandi-noir fan, but this series is brilliant. Watched 5/6 episodes so far.

Have got used to them having subtitles, a lot of Scandinavian languages have a similarity to English as are classed as Germanic languages, like English. The Northern Dialects in the UK have Danish and Norwegian roots. Unfortunately even using a VPN I can't log into IPlayer from IE as the BBC know all of my Email addresses from using other sites and the purchase of the Countryfile Calendar and donations to Pudsey.

2021-06-25 18:20:36 +0000 UTCWe watched The Investigation a few weeks back and it was fantastic. I appreciated a lot of the choices that the programme made about what to show and what not to show. Because we've watched a lot of Danish and other Scandinavian TV shows, we spent the first episode trying to remember where we had seen various actors before
