Great and Flawed? Since this series is now on Netflix I'm write a review despite the fact that it began in 2014.
My main problem is that Marta Dusseldorp carries the whole 3 series and that grows tiresome. Her character is driven, conflicted ( she loves her children but rarely sees them) and seems impervious to shock. Her 'wife' is murdered, her own life and that of her children are threatened and she endures being shot at in a drive by but arrives the next day at work as if nothing has happened. She is portrayed as a superwoman, and is being set up as a feminist icon. The cliche of 'I am invincible, I am woman..'. Marta Dusseldorp is a fine actress although her range is slightly limited, she does not seem to have the personal experience necessary to fully inhabit the more dreadful aspects of the criminal world.
The plots are overly complex and the machinations drag on to fill the 8 episodes of each series, 6 eps. Per series would have been better. It is also a pity so much of all 3 series is centered around Janet King, Marta is a beautiful woman and the camera loves her but the other characters are neglected.
I think this show divides people, it is certainly not a soap opera nor is it unwatchable, compared to so much b grade pap from the USA it is a marvel of sincerity. Atleast watch series tow which is better than series one.
