The Investigation

[longtompot]

Starting this Friday (22nd Jan) at 9pm on bbc2 I believe.

I'm in two minds about whether to watch this as it's based on a true story. I prefer my scandi crime series to be about fictional crimes. Anyone going to watch it?

I think I will!
I saw the trailer yesterday evening and it has the actor who was original Swedish Wallander, Rolf Lassgard, so I think I'll be taping and binge watching later

I’m actually quite shocked this is already a tv show when I saw the trailer and I won’t be watching. I remember the case at the time and It was only August 2017 and is really a horrific nightmare of a case. I actually think about the poor woman a lot. I think it is too soon for a drama to be made to entertain us.
I’m surprised her parents are allowing it but maybe they have no choice. I’d be utterly furious in their shoes.

@sashagabadon those were my thoughts when I first saw it advertised. Just a horrendous case, and too soon. I think I'll be watching It's A Sin instead.

I watched the first two episode last night after reading the murderer isn't named or shown at all. It's really well done, with the focus being on finding out what happened. Not glamorised at all.
