Fangar plot

Why did Linda put her 70-year-old father into a coma? Was she a drug addict looking for money? That's the explanation her family gives, but a young journalist believes there's more to it. As Linda struggles to survive behind bars, making new enemies and friends, her wealthy family's reputation, her sister's political ambitions, and her mother's sanity are all at risk. The reason: the dark secret Linda carries. It could mean her freedom or her downfall.

Nice series, but unfortunately with the necessary drawbacks to not belong to the really better work. Thora Bjorg Helga^ is excellent in the lead role, but everyone does a very good job. The atmosphere, cinematography and soundtrack are also more than fine, so that's not the issue. At first I thought I had hit something of the level of a Source.

The story is a mix of a Forbrydelsen (politics and crime intertwined) and I'm guessing a Women's Wing (never seen) with the angle of abuse (you can see that coming right away, even the plot points to that, but that's not a problem to be) and is initially interesting and entertaining, but gradually, with quite a few clichés and sentiments, it is colored very much within the conforming lines. A shame, but certainly not a bad series. And very nice to see one who plays in Iceland!

3.0*.

^ she also played the lead role in Málmhaus (2013) - MovieMeter.nl (same director too), which I'm still curious about.
