When I started watching Kastanjemanden, I got a little too excited, and I was quite generous in my rating of the pilot episode. The following episodes gradually brought me back to reality, and I started noticing logic holes. Plus, the members of the police investigation department were turned into hopeless pawns. Episode 5 seemed like a small miracle for me, but the very next one brought back everything that annoyed me. If there’s something I can praise, it's the perfect dark and grim atmosphere that lasted for all six episodes. I wasn’t exactly thrilled, but I certainly don't regret having seen this show. 4*-

A top-notch detective miniseries that exudes pure Scandinavian noir. It’s a throwback to the golden age of Scandinavian cinema from a decade ago — dark, atmospheric, and richly crafted. Thanks to the screenwriters behind The Bridge and a strong literary foundation, The Chestnut Man stands out as one of the most compelling detective stories in recent years.
