Ørnen: En krimi-odyssé (2004–2006)
8/10
Superlative Danish detective drama...
20 November 2016
Scandinavia produces a lot of good quality crime drama and The Eagle is a an excellent example.

This detective drama shares a lot in common with US series like Crossing Lines. Its a mix of cross border policing, of mostly high profile cases, combined with a dash of intelligence work.

This police unit frequently work with Danish and other intelligence agencies and other police forces from neighbouring countries like Sweden and Norway.

The style of this drama is down to earth and very matter of fact. Its refreshingly unpretentious and well acted. Each season has an overriding story that's built upon with side stories to keep things interesting.

All in all a recommended watch for crime drama enthusiasts tired of the run of the mill US/UK fare. Eight out of ten from me.
