Best plot, worst acting - Sebastian Bergman: Series 1 review by JD
Rolf the actor playing Sebastian has a range of dreadful facial expressions that rival Daniel Radcliffe for awfulness. His smiles look as though he is having a seizure, shock looks like a bad bowel movement. None of the actors can really convince. The plot however is fantastic, a detective drama based on character profiles and psychological analysis. These whodunnits are written with loads of detail and are Christiesque except that the clues are in the piecing the whole together rather than single details. It is gory by UK standards and probably should be an 18 for violence and adult theme. It has a certain Swedish hallmark photography of stark plainness which is a bit edgy. Great detective drama, maybe the Danes should have been cast in it.
