Well - am I cross.
First of all the BBC gave away the plot line so I watched the first episode wishing they would just get on with it.
By the end of the second episode I wasn't sure it was a comedy!
I think, that they dont fess up is to protect the wife because it was here hitting her husband that meant he then hit his head falling down.
But surely in the context of the brother going for each other she would not be convicted of any malicious intent.
I suppose it will turn out there is some complicated back story but not sure I care! Have struggled with Norwegian series before. Not saying they are bad or anything but think whatever customs and conventions they have I dont tune into.
I once watched a film based on the life of the Sami(?) people and it was really good but in many ways mysterious as their beliefs and way of life was so unknown to me.
PS the actor playing the twins looks really familiar, has he been in another nordic crime or was it one of those viking dramas?
