To my recollection, this is the first time I have ever watched a Finnish production. But, if it's representative of the genre, I certainly hope it's not my first and last! This series is excellent! Great acting, quirky characters, bizarre deaths, a man trying to solve his own murder before he dies! The writing is excellent and the unusual twists just add to the watching experience. This may be the very first show I have ever been able to watch all the way through with solely captions. Definitely worth it though. The humor ranges from almost slapstick to very dark and macabre. And the scenery is beautiful! I have only been to Helsinki Airport where I slept on a bench before connecting to Moscow but the scenery definitely made me want to go back for a longer visit throughout the country of Finland.
