Anna Pihl

Anna Pihl is a single mother who has moved to the big smoke of Copenhagen to take up a job as a rookie cop. Charlotte Munck is appealing as the energetic, headstrong Anna and the rest of the cast is uniformly good. The stories are a little contrived and Anna's duty statement is merely a symbolic piece of paper rather than her guiding light, but a series about the routine mundane operations of a junior police officer would hardly constitute riveting viewing. Anna does things her way and much of the series' entertainment is derived from this premise. Anna's personal life is complicated and a little over emphasised, but not jarring.

This is pretty lightweight stuff and not up to the standard of "The Killing" or "Unit One", and if you accept it on that basis you'll be entertained without being challenged. 7/10
