The TVI Take
A Copenhagen detective investigates the murder of a teenager. Sofie Grabol's Sarah Lund is one of television's defining detectives.
Exceptional craft — the pacing, which the American adaptation abandoned, is central to the drama's power. Educational about the Danish political and legal system.
