Absolutely LOVE Watching This Crime Series
This is my favorite TV series at present. I love the story lines, the actors, and especially enjoy the gorgeous way this series is filmed. I find it totally inspiring on so many levels. Love getting to see a country I have not yet visited and feel as though I am in a bit of a trance seeing the beauty and imagery of the region. Eva Rose is lovely and the character she plays feels authentic as she does her best to be a single mom raising two kids and working as a police detective. One of the episodes includes a Papillon pup named Peggy that has also stolen my heart. One episode includes a wonderful young man with Down's syndrome who brought me to tears with his performance. This series has helped make winter so much more enjoyable.
First-rate
I am impressed with this series. It's powerful, suspenseful, and well-plotted. There's good character development bolstered by an emotional "pull" that draws the viewer into caring about the people portrayed. That extra dimension proves the skill of both the screenwriters and the actors. The story line revolves around the character of Maria Wern, a seasoned police officer who is also a recent widow with two young children. Maria is played intelligently and sensitively by Eva Rose. The struggles that she endures, putting their lives back on track while pursuing her career as a senior police officer, resonate with the viewer as a genuine effort -- it is not a cliche-ridden treatment , or an overly-emotional one. The character does not wallow in self-pity; neither is she so numbed by her own suffering that she's devoid of compassion for others. It's a believable blend. The other ensemble actors are also very good and their characters seem fleshed-out and nuanced --they are people...
Eyes glued on family while being a "super" cop
This police/detective series, "Maria Wern" is a highly intense Swedish (with sub-titles) "Police drama" that, for me, is filmed in a very different part of the world (albeit a very pretty part of the world), that being on an island, with gorgeous sun-sets, in Sweden. Maria Wern (wonderfully and very believably acted by Eva Rose--don't be fooled by her looks, she's tough), while always very concerned for her family and while very intently mourning the death of her husband, is a "super" cop solving some very well written and directed horrible cases including a teen girl's(with a surprising secret) suicide, baby kidnapping, ardent "animal rights" advocates that will use any means possible to get their points across, etc. I found all three (3) of the hour and one-half episodes to be very intriguing and "nail biting "good.
This series was acquired, by me, by accident (long story); however, I enjoyed it very much and intend to purchase more episodes in the series.
