A proven plot - persistent professionals, thanks to their diligence, scrupulousness, as well as modern criminology capabilities, successfully investigate long-closed, but not yet solved murders. Naturally, not everyone likes it when they resume the investigation of old "capercaillie" and generally stir up the forgotten past, revealing dark secrets, sometimes literally "skeletons in closets." Therefore, heroes are required not only responsibility and meticulousness, but also determination, perseverance, and sometimes personal courage. Interesting enough.

In general, sad, but good stories with intrigue, more or less plausible. In oversaturated episodes, storylines are sometimes lost, and in "under-saturated" episodes, on the contrary, they are not enough - it turns out to be delayed, unfortunately, sometimes lines are lost in prolonged episodes. However, the action in the series generally develops slowly. The behavior of the staff left questions, the boss was weird and slightly hysterical, some kind of mini conflicts regularly arose out of the blue within the team. Apparently, the scriptwriters wanted to add vitality and realism to this. There are a lot of psychos and crimes against children, there are not enough pleasant shots with human remains.

It was staged, filmed and mounted acceptably, successful casting, they play normally. The result was a gloomy police expert-procedural detective of the average level, without deep failures, but also without brilliance. Very average level.

Language. They speak well, mostly correctly, of course, not always very clearly, and not too fast, as a rule. There is slang, sometimes "advanced" vocabulary, but not very complex, with subtitles you can understand everything, except perhaps professional terminology, which specialists are too fond of from time to time.

It's a good, smart series. And most importantly, there are no details or problems in the personal lives of detectives, which I don't like. Everything revolves only around investigations.

what a twist of the plot.
It's a little weak for the season finale.

It's a good series. But as I understand it, there are no more dubbed seasons? I haven't found it anywhere.
