But the acting is by far the worst of her mysteries put on air. Others who liken it to a prime-time soap opera with a murder thrown in for good measure have hit it spot on.
To view a better representation of Läckberg's genre-and Scandi Noir in general-I recommend watching the 2012-2013 television series, Fjällbackamord. Real detective work-and a plus: real acting in this series is what is missing from the Lyckoviken attempt.
That being said, if you are a Scandophile, as I am, then watching the show for the background and nuances of the Swedish language, would not make it a total waste of time! (Back-handed compliment, I realize...)
