Dear me… I know Christie adaptations can be a bit hit and miss. This was a whoooole new level of miss… The dialogue is clunky, the characters are cardboard. The editing is awful and it’s completely devoid of any tension. Lingering closeups of faces that seems as puzzled as I was… Think a spoof that’s forgotten it’s supposed to be funny… Steer clear! 😬

Only watched the first episode but think that’ll do… I’m a huge fan of Danish drama, ‘follow the money’, ‘legacy’, ‘Borgen’ this is NOT in that league. (Even if there are 2Danish actors in it.) None of the characters get any time for development and the plot is forced down our gob from the first frame. Way too many coincidences for it to feel authentic. I applaud the drone shots of the Faroe Islands and putting it on the map and for showcasing new Faroe talent but they deserve a better script. Suspense at the cost of substance never work in my opinion… but it looks pretty!
