The fifth season can be divided into two halves. In the first half, following the pattern of Nordic crime dramas, the distant past is revived through archives and witness memories, and I’m fascinated by how people remember things after 40 years that I’d forget after 40 days. The second half somewhat loses its way and focuses on relationships, sentiment, and the troubled blood of the central duo (it’s a shame it doesn’t more often feature scenes like when intellectual theory clashes with drunken experience at Robin’s dinner). The parallel unraveling of the case, which revealed the involvement of a man named Oto, honestly bored me. And what about Corm and his best employee? Will they play Queen’s "Friends Will Be Friends" while they’re at it?
