- From the acclaimed director of Mindhunter and writer of Borgen, this brooding drama covers the six-month investigation into how and why Swedish journalist Kim Wall was murdered on a submarine where she was interviewing the eccentric inventor who had built it. Cutting edge forensic techniques are used and dogged policing sees the case finally brought to justice, but only after much obfuscation from the killer and seemingly insurmountable obstacles in the gathering of evidence.

Very slow and overlong Scandi-detective-drama - The Investigation review by PV
This is 3 episodes; it would fit will in 4 or maybe even 3 or 2.
It is SO slow, long and drawn-out.
Ultimately, it gets rather tiresome and boring, and one does not really care about the victim or what happens. It is all post-murder and procedural which does not help.
Watch THOSE WHO KILL, 2011 series and revived 2019 series. Great and exciting, unlike this.
Passable. Maybe 3 stars.
I watched it a week ago and can barely remember the characters or story. It is all so MEH. Why care?
2.5 stars maybe rounded up

Dark - The Investigation review by MP
Although i enjoyed this film,especially knowing it was a true story, i struggle with the fact that all Scandi films are shot in
Near darkness .Even indoors there is only ever one small lamp on....do they believe it adds to the atmosphere or is their electricity rationed?

Wasted opportunity - The Investigation review by MI
At least four times longer than it needs to be this turns what could have been an interesting story into a yawn fest of drawn out glances, silences and fake angst. I think we’re over scandi noir.
