This show just popped up on Netflix as a mini-series. No need to write a lengthy treatise about it-it is laugh out loud funny. Every standard device in a Brit or Nordic murder mystery is lampooned whilst we watch 2 misfits try to solve the murder of a Brit national in Sweden. We meet Adam Godley playing DCI Tom Brown as he interrogates a round table of upper crust Brits in a mansion-only problem is: he don't know nuttin. His meandering line of questioning gets him booted from the case, as his assistant takes over. Tom gets sent to faraway Sweden where he has imaginary chats with his elderly mom and reads glowing accounts of how his replacement cleared up 3 of his unsolved cases in a few hours. Inspector Morse he ain't.
Pretty Lisa Henri plays Detective Borg, who is partnered with Brown. She is a misfit, in the doghouse for shooting a fleeing suspect in the head (she was aiming for his leg). With these 2 investigating a brutal murder, the perpetrator should rest easy. After all, they are backed by a fake cop, a Supervisor who has never solved a case, and the cliché Forensic pathologist in white uniform (who later begins to conduct a post-Mortem on a guy who isn't dead at all, just hung over).
After Borg shoots an innocent guy in the shoulder at a play rehearsal (don't ask), things do not look good for our would-be pair of sleuths, except that they seem to be inching closer to the culprit accidentally. Put your tongue firmly in cheek & enjoy.
