While Dicte doesn't pale totally in the comparison with other Nordic series production-wise, its script has lots of apparent flaws in terms of credibility and the characters lack depth of any kind. People behind the series seemed to have been too unfocused to decide whether they should develop a soup opera or a crime series.
Consequently, Dicte fails to satisfy a fan of hard-boiled crime series like me because the dramatic development of the plot of every episode is just way too schmaltzy to strike the right note.
And again, the main characters are not only flat and uninteresting but ridiculously unconvincing. For example, nobody who knows how things work in a Nordic country should believe that a journalist is allowed an entry into an office of crime investigators without some strict monitoring.
