8/10
Well done out of Sweden
24 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The ending was a bit of an eyebrow raiser, an odd (to us on this side of the Atlantic) way of handling a murder case, even odder the courtroom was so swanky and very non-threatening in its gentle environment.

But aside from that, I found the six-parter very engaging, well written and totally believable in that rapists get away with it 90% of the time as trials can be grueling and the victim is victimized once again with invasive questions and disbelief when she says she was frozen in fear and didn't fight back.

Stella is fantastic, a great actor in a first major role and her parents are believable in their angst and over projection of her after her rape.

The pacing was excellent as was the script in that everyone has secrets which can tumble out in a crisis and investigation.

A satisfying ending in that Stella's motives are completely believable.

But I have question marks around that "court" case.

8/10 overall for how engaging it all is.
