The Americanized version doesn't compare to the original. Subtitles are totally worth the effort -- well suited for viewing on a mobile device, something about a smaller screen makes the subtitle reading less of a distraction. Excellent!

Forget Diane Kruger, Sofia Helin is the shit! #TeamSagaNorén

Overall that's a very good show. Very high quality. Amazing that such small countries were able to pull this off. It's a miracle that this dark and depressing show was ever allowed to be aired. Never ever have you seen such a show produced in Hollywood. It's all very well crafted, produced and written. I personally think it's a bit too dark (give me just a little bit of hygge but that's just my personal feeling [I don't like horror movies either]) and the plots are sometimes too ambitious [the crimes too monstrous] and seasoned with too much red herrings to really enjoy them. I'm not sure I understood every sub-plot and how it's related to the main case. And whenever there was a plot hole to fill (that can't be filled with one of those hard to believe coincidences), idleness to overcome, the next episode to advertise and keep tension high, the writers decided to kill a few more people. Is that really necessary or good story telling if that's a recurring element? Kudos to Sofia Helin. She made Saga Norén truly one of the most memorable characters ever featured on TV.

Great show, together with The Killing the best Nordic series

Brilliant! Very good acting and series
