As a result, she began "acting like a man" until the character took shape.ĭuring filming of the first series, Sveistrup also refused to reveal the identity of the murderer or even specific plot points to members of the cast, including Gråbøl. Gråbøl had a history of playing emotionally demonstrative characters on Danish television-she had worked with Sveistrup before on the TV-series Nikolaj og Julie-he approached her direct to play the part of Lund before work on the script began.ĭespite her insistence that she wanted to play an "isolated person unable to communicate" Gråbøl initially found it difficult to strike the right balance for the emotionally-distant Lund and then realised that the only people she knew, who were like the character, were men. Gråbøl, in particular, became eager to defend her character.

Still, my enjoyment of the serial did not really come from its being a whodunit.
I stand by what I wrote above, but, if you see it, be prepared to be a bit frustrated with a lot of unanswered questions at the end, and you may be wondering at one or two coincidences.
Forbrydelsen season 3 update#
Update 27 March: it ended last night on BBC4. The actress playing her mother deserves every award going. Perhaps these are plot developments still to come! One unusual feature is the focus on the reactions of the family of the murdered girl. I don't know how her more impulsive colleague Jan Meyer avoids strangling her out of frustration with the way she treats him. Sarah Lund, the main investigator is an obsessive, but a very believable one. It doesn't sound much, but the direction and acting put this into a very superior category. So far suspicion is falling on one person after another and there is a lot of (not always completely believable) politicking at City Hall. I don't yet know where the story is going. If they can be this good, there should definitely be more of them. I can't remember the last time I saw a twenty-part serial. As I write, the serial is around the middle of its run on BBC4 (so there are no ad breaks), with two episodes back-to-back each week. There aren't many programmes where I feel I mustn't leave the room for a moment for fear of missing something - but this is one of them.
