    • Trivia
      Despite the fact that the Shetland Islands are the most northerly place in the UK and can have very rain any month of the year, sprinklers were used to create fake rain in some of the scenes.

    Norse meets Morse
    The recipe for comfort-detective-television is well established, starting with a community that is close-knit, picturesque and cursed with an improbably high murder rate, and adding a brooding, lonely, middle-aged male detective. And to an extent, 'Shetland' is pure formula milk. But there's something in the spectacular landscape that makes the stories affecting; and even if the role is thin, Douglas Henshall manages to invest it with a convincing, emotional gravitas that goes beyond what's written in the script. The plots aren't too bad either, although the low-key style (reiminiscent of the BBC version of 'Wallander') tends to defuse their dramatic effect. If allowed to run too long, this series will doubtless stale; but for the moment, it's still feels fresh, and as raw as the harsh Shetland climate.

    FAQ3

    • How is Duncan related to DI Perez's daughter? It is mentioned in the first episode "Red Bones" that Duncan left her when she was an infant. How is that possible when Perez and his wife are the parents? And who is Duncan's wife Mary?
    • Just started watching Series 4. LOVE this show but I would love to know how it is that D.I. Perez affords a new car every year. :D
    • Why don't we see DIs and policemen carrying guns in the series?
