(DVD Annika)
In January, I reviewed Season Two of this wonderful detective series while waiting for Season One to come in. The first episode begins with the words “Call Me Annika” which brings to mind the opening words of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick: “Call me Ishmael.” Each episode of the series begins with Detective Annika Strandhed talking about a classic work of literature and how it relates to the current case she is trying to solve. Each episode builds on the previous one with Annika confiding to the audience her worries and fears regarding the relationships in her life. Set in beautiful Scotland, we get to enjoy breathtaking views of the sea, lochs and rivers that Annika and her team work in as the Marine Homicide Unit of Scotland’s police force. Be sure to watch season one before starting season two — episode six is especially good in terms of dramatic tension and a major plot development in the final scene. I highly recommend this series.
(If you enjoy this, you may also
wish to try Shetland, or Prime Suspect.)
