MODUS

Anyone watching? I love Swedish noir. Not sure there's much mystery though, can't see how it can progress over 8 episodes. That said I am warming to it.

Inger's husband was the killer in some other Scandi thing recently, but I can't remember what. Possibly 'Dicte - Crime Reporter'? (which was pretty low-rent, certainly not up to 'The Bridge' standard, but watchable).

Sorry, just seen that coffeeandoranges got there before me!

Design observations of the week:
Inge was seen drawing a curtain, which proves there is at least one in Sweden
Marcus's extravagant tartan waistcoat- fabulous, and he seemed to have a suit to match
The killer- had very bog standard grotty lampshades which points to there being no IKEA on the Dark Side

Inger's curtain was really poor, though.

Loving this series but still miss Beck. The male detective is slightly hot but the killer... oh, he's something special.

'Dicte - Crime Reporter' was so brilliantly daft. Bit crap, plot holes all over the place but I still enjoyed it.

Ahh Martin and those little dimples. Wasn't keen on his bleached look but he was lovely

Marking place without reading – only watched the first one. Love the scenery and symbolism; all the snow and trees and Christian iconography is really beautiful.

The biggest mystery is how the relationship between the group of 4 is set up. The women are married, the men are married, a child with man 1 and woman 1, a pregnancy with woman 2 and man 2.
Do they live in different houses?

Ingers husband was in Beck not that long ago.

I had to google to find out what else Inger's ex-husband had been in (apart from Beck and Arne Dahl).
It was a mini-series called Don't Ever Wipe Tears without Gloves, about Aids coming to the gay community in Stockholm. He played a very flamboyant gay character.
Did anyone see it?

Of course, he was in Beck I'd managed to block out Beck after the trauma of them killing off Gunvald for which I'll never forgive them, never

Although I've read the book Modus is based on, I'm pleasantly surprised that I can remember all of the characters but nothing whatsoever about the main plot points or the eventual outcome

Just caught up with watching this week's episodes. I'm definitely hooked! The violence is very graphic (but thankfully short), isn't it?

The sisters talking in their indoor tent were so sweet - even at 8 Linnea understands her sister's situation. I found that scene very moving.

Does anyone know how many episodes are in the series?

Eight in all, Agent - so we're halfway through.

Thanks. We're out for the next three Saturdays - I thought I was going to have to get up very early on Christmas Day to see the finale ! I'm really enjoying it.

I'm loving it too. Long overdue! Any more Scandi series coming up? What's the series after Modus, does anyone know?

Read this the other day- might be worth a look

Good articcle, Coffee - thanks for the link.

Liking this but find it distracting that I keep thinking of Tracey Ullman and a young Ray Liotta...

Ray Lotta......if course! I did get the Tracy Ullman likeness.

Liotta

I've finally caught up on the last two episodes and I'm enjoying it a lot more. We're out this evening but going to make sure I'm home in time I think.

Really loving this the more I watch it.

Just caught up on this week's episodes - chilling! I missed seeing Inger's daughters, though.

I don't want it to end. Poor Marcus Stahl. I hope they catch the nutcase before he gets harmed. Only two more to go. :(

I don't like Marcus. I like the nutcase. I hope he can be rehabilitated - but I understand that it would spoil the story. I am loving this series.
