Those Who Kill


Another day, another Danish import.  This has Lars Mikkelsen ("Troels!" the mayoral candidate from 'The Killing') in it as a police boss, and a Sarah Lund-alike called Katrine.  It's basically a Danish version of the formulaic and rather nasty 'Wire in the Blood', with the first two-hour-minus-ads episode concerned with a ritual serial killer of young women bringing to mind the real Bundy and the fictional Hannibal.

It's efficiently done but unspectacular, and not in the same league as its recent compatriots.  And why do TV police insist on visiting burial sites alone in the middle of a winter's night?
