I loved the two seasons of this television series - why? Because Maria is a confused and complex character, and given her age, is understandably undecided - about many things. But one thing she is crystal clear about is her job. Kallio gets the job done, simply because the scales of justice must balance. And yes, she does exhibit serious workaholic cop trope vibes.
If only her love life functioned so smoothly! Maria drifts into a casual relationship with Antti, a scientist suffering from a severe case of abandonment, hence, this triggers his co-dependent issues. Yet, one relationship doesn't seem enough for this young woman, so she becomes drawn to her partner, Pekka - who entertains the dream of settling down with Maria and having children.
There is so much to love about this show - the characters, culture, and crimes flow seamlessly flow together - encouraging this reviewer to binge-watch this Finnish delight, long into the dark night.🌟
