Complete Nonsense

The first couple of episodes were so irritating because the eponymous character came across as an arrogant, rude, narcissistic bore. The crimes seemed to be secondary to him.

This type of character was far more successfully portrayed in the Belgian drama, Professor T.

Then it turned into the more standard Nordic crime drama with a lot less emphasis in the lead's character.

However, I had no idea what the plot was about during episodes 3 and 4 or where it was leading.

I am afraid the boy is just too implausible for words. Could he really walk into a police station and take photos of a crime board without being seen. I don't think so. His role is completely ridiculous as is the whole situation with the lead character and TV coverage.

The plot is just so full of holes in the end it just falls apart. Nothing makes any sense.
