Review of Wisting

Wisting (2019– )
7/10
Suspenseful watch from beginning to end, or two endings.

If you enjoy nordic thriller shows i would highly recommend this. The premise(detective hunting serial killer in small close knit town)might not be groundbreaking but the execution is highly entertaining and suspenseful.



Wisting the main character is a strong and realistic lead. He is not an "sherlock" type detective but much more somebody you would actually expect. A very dedicated, methodical policeman who has issues balancing work and parenting.

His daughter the journalist is who stole the show imo. She is a go getter who is very active in researching which gets her in trouble most of the time. She actually resembles her father when it comes to dedication for the job she just has a bit more energy which adds a-lot of flare to the show.

This show could of easily been two seasons as there is a clear end to the first case and start of the second one. Being that there so intertwined with each other it doesn't take away from the show putting it al in one season.

I personally would have preferred a bit more action and "gore" or just going in depth as to how the murders took place as you dont get to see the perspective of the antagonist. This however adds to the journey you take along with the police squad in finding out the particulars of the case.

Btw this my first review, if you have any tips on how to make the read more pleasant for you lmk
