Danmark - hvor det sker!



Denmark - where it's at!





I have been catching up on iPlayer for past two weeks with the brilliant Danish crime thriller "The Killing". Star Sophie Grabol (above) as detective Sarah Lund, with some very impressive support.


I love the setting in Copenhagen, the grand city centre, the grungy settings of warehouses and docks, the insights into how Danish people live their lives, what they wear, how they interact with each other, what their homes are like. I also enjoy the amazing power the CID seem to have, they apparently think nothing of stopping a plane on the runway or suspending fresh water supplies for 24 hours while they search the canal system.


But today I have been grieving for Lund's colleague, Meyer, who was murdered in Episode 18. It had to be coming, he was such a devoted family man, and so human.
