We have all been watching with a sort of grim fascination, as it all slowly unravels/builds up, and last nights viewing was the creepiest of all, with no actual violence, just the ongoing suggestion of what is to come. I almost couldn't watch when he agreed to hug and comfort the grieving Mum, who clearly does not fit his 'profile' but nonetheless unwittingly fell into the arms of a murderer. I wonder if the brunette with the red nails is like a Madonna figure ( hadn't picked up on Jewish past - assumed him to be Catholic), and therefore will end up being a kind of Mummy obsession ( have we been told about his past and his parents? Only the line about the 'stolen' hair' that it belong to his Mother and was all he had of her, when the babysitter found it. ) Not sure I fell for that one.
It is not the Killing, and GA is no Sarah Lund, I find her slightly incredible going to work in monstrous heels, and flashing (inadvertantly???) to the press, but perhaps that is the point, she is almost like a kind of 'fantasy' policewoman, dominant, attractive, highly focussed etc, mirroring the killers' need for a perfect victim... - but she kind of castrates all her male colleagues in the process.
I will be seriously fed up if they elongate it and drag this crime on into another series, as I find all the violence against women vile enough anyway, but to make us all wait to watch it all again in Series 2 would be too much. Yes, by all means let her head up another crime, but let us have an ending to this.....!
