The Nordic Murders

Desperately looking for a replacement for ANNIKA I stumbled upon this series..Born in Germany to Russian/German parents with connections to Poland, I find this extremely appealing. Also, living on the Rocky Mountains for 50+ years, I thoroughly enjoy the elegic and familiar countryside of the Baltic Sea. - continuity between seasons is kind of lacking, but still an extremely worthwhile series Love it! The countryside reminds of of the book: "Before the feast"- "Vor dem Fest" by Sasha Stanisic(in German) it absolutely captures this specific and elgic countryside.(the fox) Thank you PBS Montana!

A decent watchable series with some interesting characters and half-decent plots.

I treat these as stand-alone plots and as far as continuity goes? So what....have you watched Vera?

Der Usedom-krimi was filmed over 6 years, and had 13 episodes, which may explain why I felt as though I had 'missed something', whilst watching the first instalment channel 4 aired, continuity, was at times, confusing; the Thiels moving, Karin's hair, and the season changes all started to niggle away, until season 2, ep2 iced the cake. With no reference to the events from s2, ep1, I may as well have not seen a single episode prior. All were going about their business as if nothing had happened, and this, sadly, meant the end of the show for me, if the writers didn't care, why should I?

I've seen four episodes so far on Amazon Prime and I love it! Reminds me of Murder She Wrote but with a more melancholic score. The setting is beautiful and I enjoyed the longer nearly movie-length pacing for each self-contained mystery. On Amazon Prime they call it The Nordic Murders, but Baltic Crimes makes more sense since it takes place on an island in the Baltic Sea in Germany near the Polish border. And because each episode doesn't necessarily contain a killing ... it is a small town after all, and it wouldn't seem realistic otherwise. I love how realistic this is; not overly dramatic like American productions like to be.

I really enjoy this series,set on an island in the Baltic in the eastern part of Germany close to the Polish border. Like most TV series of this genre is is very slow burning yet it is enthralling viewing. The cast is excellent the first series starting with the release from prison of Karin Lossow and her return to her home on the.island of Usedom where her daughter Julia is a police inspector. Each episode is a stand alone story and with each episode the characters are fleshed out and we get to know more about them. The plots of the episodes are extremely good and the location filming is stunning showing the beautiful scenery of the countryside Having enjoyed the first season I was delighted to discover that the second series was available on All4,so I'm slowly streaming my way through it. The series is well worth a watch probably the best German TV series shown on Walter Presents since the Deutschland Trilogy. Roll on season 3!!!
