In principle, everything is clear. I think the minister's daughter is alive: She makes little men for the kidnapper, who leaves them at the scene of the murders. As many corpses as there are men.
Of course, when I read the book, I imagined absolutely all the characters in a completely different way, especially Tulin and Gensa, and Hess is too cute outwardly, because of this dissonance it is difficult to look at. But in general, an adequate film adaptation, I wonder if they will add something from themselves)
@albinka_: Good afternoon, I completely agree with you) Tulin resembles Penelope more than a single character..I didn't even imagine Hess, damn, what kind of glasses?!?!..And what catches your eye the most is that Li is Chinese, Gens is a man 185cm tall, and here he is shorter than Tulin, who is 180cm tall..Well...))))
Everything is in the best style of Scandinavian TV series: without haste, with an atmosphere slowly sinking into anxiety, with a conflict between two people leading this case. It's definitely addictive to look further.
it's a good atmosphere, but I didn't really like that from the very first episode they started introducing the alleged killer , this black silhouette without a face is a cliche of all cliches, well , in the last scene a chestnut tree fell so ominously, I immediately imagined this dude sitting on a tree and waiting for the moment to dramatically throw it
I liked the book, so I also wanted to look at the film adaptation, even though you know the plot, the killer, but it's still interesting, maybe they will add something of their own to the plot.
A detective in his own style is a good one, not stupid. BUT before you start watching the series, you should be prepared for the fact that the plot will develop slowly, slowly, incomprehensibly. If you don't like boring TV shows, it's better to pass by - not for you. If you have already "had enough of boring stuff" - it is worth postponing the series for later. With his slowness, the series will have to be watched carefully, otherwise you will constantly ask questions: what is going on, who is this, who is that, etc. The picture of the series is natural, without camerawork beauties. THE SERIES IS FOR THE LOVER OF SLOW THOUGHTFUL DETECTIVES.
@S0prano: actually, against the background of the usual Scandinavian TV series, he is quite cheerful, in fact, without unnecessary scenes, and only 6 episodes.
I put off both the book and the TV series in vain. I already understood this from the first episode (which, by the way, is atypical for Scandinavians). I think this is obvious to most people here, but the author of the book on which this series was filmed is the screenwriter of the Danish "Murder". If at least 1 person will find this comment useful, that's good.
Oh, this special atmosphere of Scandinavian detective series... Lately, I've fallen in love with such series and literature, I've read a lot of detective stories, but I've been putting off the chestnut man for now. After viewing, I will definitely purchase a book)
I often watch TV shows while working (hello, remote!). This one is perfect, you don't need to be distracted by what's happening too often - at least for now. In general, the plot is intriguing, there are absolutely no ideas about what will happen next and this makes it even more interesting. The ominous chestnut falling on the roof of the car at the end of the series is a very successful little detail, which gives the impression of a good thoughtfulness of all the scenes.
I join many of the comments above: the series is quite measured and unhurried, the plot is interesting, the actors play well, the characters gradually open up and do not look like dummies, the atmosphere is saturated, transferable.
Wow, what a picture. This autumn, red hues, gloominess. I recently watched Protecting Jacob, the atmosphere is similar. But I like this one better, it's more catchy.
Oh, those Scandinavian detectives! It's nice to follow both the picture and the storyline, while all the cards are being laid out, but already in the first episode, an oppressive atmosphere is noticeable, seasoned with autumn chestnuts
"The Chestnut Man" begins with the scene of the murder of an entire family on a farm in 1987. Thirty years later, in Copenhagen, the body of a young woman without an arm is found on a playground. The case is assigned to investigator Naya Tulin, who plans to tie up with the criminal police and go to a quiet job. Together with her new, strange partner, Mark Hess, Naya finds a tiny chestnut figurine at the crime scene. It soon turns out that this evidence is connected to the case of thirty years ago and with the recent abduction of the daughter of the Minister of Social Policy Rosa Hartung.
If you miss the "Bridge" and "Murder" or like intricate detective stories, then the "Chestnut Man" is made especially for you. It has all the usual attributes of scandi-noir: cops with a crippled fate, intersecting storylines, a violent maniac, social drama and an intoxicating atmosphere. The series does not invent anything new, but it uses the classic chips of its genre very competently, giving the viewer guaranteed pleasure.
And the main tandem of detectives turned out to be interesting: Naya Tulin (Danica Churcic) and Hess (Mikkel Bo Felsgaard) are as vulnerable and principled as their colleagues from other popular projects.
The atmosphere of the detective brings me back to my favorite "Bridge", especially the views of Copenhagen from above. I haven't read the book, but the plot still captures attention. It's a pity for Rosa and her family, where did the girl go?.
It seems like nothing that we haven't seen before, well, if you don't take the figures themselves, but it's still interesting to watch. The main character is very pleasant in appearance.
Lee, who has an Asian appearance based on the book, acquires a truly absurd and overly tolerant appearance of an African-American woman here, when this fashion for "blacks" passes, they are just poked everywhere and okay, it would be really appropriate. I want to note that I do not have racist tendencies, but this nonsense is fiercely annoying in many modern paintings 😐
Well, it's very lively and cheerful for Scandinavia, I wasn't bored for a minute. And this "cold" atmosphere of theirs, it seems that dampness and wind penetrate from the screen... The atmosphere was beautifully conveyed. The characters are not too voluminous yet, but I think in a couple of episodes they will be revealed slowly.
While it's coming in
, this black silhouette without a face is a cliche of all cliches, well
, in the last scene a chestnut tree fell so ominously, I immediately imagined this dude sitting on a tree and waiting for the moment to dramatically throw it
This is not Russia...

Oh, that detective humor 😅👍🏻
