1. De Dag - Twelve episodes of the same day. On that day, two robbers tried to rob a bank by taking hostages. Thieves in the bank, police have surrounded the building, negotiators are negotiating. Everyone plays his or her part in this terrible "performance", where the price of an error...someone's life.
I know, I know, it sounds familiar, because we have already seen so many films related to bank robberies that we can't even count them). It is difficult to surprise us. And I, having read the announcement, thought that it is not worth the trouble of my precious time and dashingly "walked" past the Day.
Now I strongly recommend to everyone that you don't miss it. A magical show! While watching the show, there are so many surprises, unexpected plot twists and turns, and "snuffbox devils" that will pop up suddenly and come in handy. Why by the way? Because at some point in the story, you'll be absolutely sure that you've discovered the insidious plan of robbers. Yeah "now"). In the next series, you will clearly show that you "even not standing beside". I was caught on this "fishing rod" myself, but after another guess error, I had to "turn off" the method of deduction, and wait for the final, in order to listen to the version of the creators. The writers were very good at it! But despite this, the main bad boy I still calculated long before the finish, but the motive became apparent only at the very end. I guess I'm getting old).
There are such shows that you have seen, and then you want to "develop" them and watch again, as for the first time). The day is one of them.

2. What is hidden in the snow (Det som göms i snö) - after a nervous breakdown, Inspector Peter Wendell returns to work. In order to protect the employee from unnecessary anxiety, his superiors instructed him to head the unsolved murders department. Let him quietly hang in the "hanging" - the experiences of zero (the cases of the past few days), and the employee seems to be in business.
And here it is - the morning of the first working day. However, Peter's day did not succeed from the very beginning. The teenage daughter forgot to close the door to the terrace; a certain Roland Eklond called Peter to his personal number, claiming that he called back at his own request, and Peter, not only that he does not know who Eklond is, still does not remember what he called at all; at work under the office of the new "Department of Unresolved Affairs" allocated an empty room, completely unsuitable for productive work; His subordinates were people who had been kicked out of other departments or had had to leave themselves; the same evening, at his birthday party, he upset the birthday girl with a gift so much that he had to leave the party early; on his way home, he quarreled with his daughter "to the ground". So much for the beginning of a "dizzying" career.
But all these were flowers. The berries began when Roland Eklond's body was found in the parking lot in his own car. He was stabbed with a cucumber knife (as it turns out, there are also cucumbers) with fingerprints of Peter Wendell. Who set up Roger the Rabbit, or rather the honest detective of the Stockholm police?
I will begin by saying that the producers of the series Søren Stemose (Millennium) and Lone Corlund (Millennium) were not afraid to invite to the role of detective Peter Wendell Swedish comedian Robert Gustafsson; he is called "the funniest man in Sweden. And on the other hand, it is known that in normal life, "the funniest" people on the screen, in normal life, "well, not funny at all", rather the contrary, gloomy, silent, smiling. This is exactly what Detective Peter Wendell is. In my opinion, the producers did not take any risks at all, and for the first time, a talented person was allowed to move away from the usual role and play on the screen of himself.
Yes, "everything brilliant is simple"
And what ladies in the show! "Different woolly", bright, individual! Secretary Barbro Swanson, performed by Maria Landhammer (Last will of Nobel, Exit) lives absolutely on his own wave). She knows best of all what's on her list of duties, and if you think she's hitting a hoodlum at work, it's just your problem. It turned out to be an unrealistically "killer" heroine, "not a woman, but a dreamy poet.
"Snow Queen", she is also the former wife of GG Anne-Marie Wendell is cold, smart, devoted and damn sighted. She was played by Maria Sundom (Quicksand).
Junior Detective Kaisa Bergholm, aka Louise Peterhoff (Bridge), is a freckle. She's a flighty, unpredictable, stray. She likes to drink hard and sins by what she does first, and then thinks, "Yo-Mayo, what have I done?
The Swedes didn't backtrack from the canons of the genre by a single iota! They dragged it out a bit, made it a little funny, but they solved the case, and that's good. However, there is a slight "taste" of understatement, but they say that the second season is not far off. And we are only for! There are no many good detectives. We will patiently wait.
