I feel like I'm being conned into thinking the main detective's partner is being portrayed as dumb half-wit detective only to reveal later that he is a genius. Like how Det. Roland "Prez" Pryzbylews was first introduced on The Wire.
So far it's good and I do see The Wire comparisons but it's still to early to tell.

So far im interested but too early to give a real good review. I'll keep watching it and see what unfolds. And dude said this was picked up from a danish series? didnt know that

Watching now.. Comparing to The Wire (5 seasons-60 episodes) with just 2 episodes in.. is quite a bold statement sir..
Will give crit shortly...
- Yeah. It's bold. Agreed. We will have to wait and see.monospaced

BUT Wire has so much more going on. This show just delays for drama.

Recently got caught up in the original Danish version and found it really compelling. So much so I watched 8½ hours back to back whilst failing to multitask productively (i often watch crap at weekends whilst working.. not really an easy thing to achieve where subtitles are involved..).

I caught the two-hour pilot and second episode to this new series, and I have to say, I'm riveted. It's gearing up to be the best show I've seen since The Wire. This might be AMC's best work so far with the most real characters and true emotion I've seen in a crime drama.
Thoughts?
