As Nordic/Scandi noir goes, this is one of the worst I've ever seen. For starters, the police were so inept as to be beyond belief. In fact, the police were so corrupt that their supervisors paid zero attention to their failing.
I know it's one thing to hide evidence and cover up your child's criminal activities, but for other officers not to notice that is just beyond ridiculous.
The writing, as a whole, was just terrible and the series really warranted just one star. What saved A Good Family was the acting and cinematography; those weren't that bad.
One bad scene, for instance, was when the father confronted his police officer wife who had slept with the head criminal, but he simply ignored it. A Good Family is filled with characters who routinely lie to each other but nothing gets done about it. If there was A Good Family II, I'd have to pass on it.
