2 Stars for the beautiful snow Setting.
The rest: The first episodes really caught my attention. The beautiful snowy setting, the northern atmosphere, and the striking landscapes-nothing groundbreaking, but compelling enough to draw me in. The show introduced an intriguing mystery: a young girl's murder, a party, a grieving girl, and a case that seemed worth following.
But then came episode 3, and that's where things started to unravel. Suddenly, we were bombarded with multiple characters whose significance was unclear. A blonde, high-profile politician struggling with her husband's issues-yet this subplot never really went anywhere. Then, out of nowhere, the mystery rushed to a conclusion. The female detective nearly dies in the snow, suffering some kind of freezing injury-or so it seemed.
What frustrated me most was the sudden reveal of the girl's backstory. Her choices, particularly getting into a car with someone obviously suspicious, felt completely unrealistic. By that point, I found myself rolling my eyes. The mystery, which had been built up so well, was wrapped up hastily and unsatisfyingly.
Then came Episode 4, and to my complete surprise, a completely different case began. The female detective, despite her apparent near-death experience, was suddenly fine-no frostbite, no consequences. This second case, from what I've seen so far, is much simpler: a domestic violence situation that seems to have an obvious perpetrator. There's no real intrigue, no depth, and frankly, it feels pointless.
What started as a promising thriller ended as a bland, foreseeable drama with weak storytelling choices. Instead of a gripping mystery, the show left me disappointed and unsatisfied.
