is what will happen if you decide to make this your Friday night or Saturday afternoon.

After season ones cliffhanger was followed by a lackluster second season, the fans were restless.

That was due in large part to the moody atmosphere creator Veena Sud is such a master of conjuring.

It was also due in part to the brilliance of actor Mireille Enos as Detective Linden.

Enos is just generally excellent.

You maybe have an argument against this fact, to which I politely respond bylinking you here.

Her work was that distinct.

Joel Kinnaman starring opposite Enos as the louche and lanky quip-dropping Detective Holder is equally superlative throughout.

Does anyone else still have a hard time grappling with the fact that he is from Sweden?

That perpetually slays me.

Kinnaman also excels at making even the lamest jokes that maybe your uncle would tell at dinner seem funny.

Thats no mean feat.

Will we eat it?

Will we enjoy it?

Can our judgement when it comes to honestly responding as to the cakes excellence be fully trusted?

When a procedural tries to becomeMad Men, thats when problems arise.

The central mysteryLinden and Holder attempting to get to the bottom of a family found slaughteredseems arbitrary and inconsequential.

Of course it does.

You could track the evolution of each characters actions they made sense.

Sadly that does not seem to be the case for season four.

Its doubly a let down because I thought season three was a return to form!

Did the show shift gears?

Yes, it did.
