Well, this season trapped us all in a recursive story with a weird ending. Really, I enjoyed much the landscapes and the general intrigue. But this time the actors do not deliver, seem tired, and the investigators make one mistake after another for no reason, while Andi's character is forced to doubt about his competence just because years ago pushed a suspect during an interrogation and was therefore transferred to a small town. It took him seven years to philosophize!, (even when is proved he was then in the right track).
Then he goes in jail for..., really somebody explain it to me. He says he is guilty... of what? A guy says 'kill me or I kill her', he does not respond, so the guy press the trigger against the woman, the pistol fails an Andi shot him dead before a second shot kills her. He was suspended and has no permit for the gun, yeah! So, what? Fine him. Should he have explained the police 'see, my gun was unauthorized, the cops in the rear made nothing, so we stood there waiting, until he killed the girl and shot us all; tell my mother that I loved her' (gasp).
And how such an old infringement, already severely penalized, can be connected to an actual life and death situation? Should we in Iceland just watch if somebody is going to be murdered no matter the resources available to avoid it?
I think the writers wanted Andi jailed, but missed the how big. And this is big for my rating also. Disappointing.
I'd like to add that I'm a bit tired with the cliché that crime stories, in addition to the crime itself, the criminals and the investigation, focus more and more on the shortcomings, sensitivity and ontological haunting problems of the investigators, plus the troubles they must overcome because of the misdemeanors and follies of some of their relatives. Okay, they are human and it is not bad that we appreciate them that way. But, when this becomes dominant, we must remember that we all - including writers, directors and actors - face problems, pains, doubts and anxieties; which does not justify our job outcomes turn constantly that erratic and unproffesional. If so, no one is safe (or maybe that's the subliminal message?).
