Re: Witnesses: A Frozen Death.......on Saturday, BBC4.
Yes, I watched it and thought it was quite good, apart from the unnecessary complication that the main detective has to drag her kids round with herI've watched several foreign thrillers on BBC4 on Saturday nights - Danish, Swedish, French, Canadian and others, and enjoyed them all except Spanish, I just couldn't take to those
I don't mind subtitles at all.

Re: Witnesses: A Frozen Death.......on Saturday, BBC4.
It was so good that I had to watch 3 episodes back-to-back .....
Mainly because it was so macabre but without being ghoulish .....
All the usual suspects for "noir" - attractive maverick detective with personal problems and aging car puts herself at personal risk in the search for psychotic murderer(s) .....
It's made with great skill and performances, though, so it's way above average .....
A couple of things I noticed, however:
Sandra always wears the same clothes, occasionally smokes and (apparently) only rarely takes a shower, since she smelt of a perfume days after she put a "dab" on - c'est tres francaise .....
(Gallic shrug)Also, at one stage, she had a particularly hefty pistol bursting out from under that incredibly skinny leather jacket (which she can barely zip up) - surely something a little more discreet would have been appropriate .....

Oh dear, it's got so bad I can't watch any more .....
Sandra is taken off the case but joins up with runaway Catherine then commits burglary, car theft, kidnap and torture (to name a few of her crimes) .....
What a let-down .....

Well, I tried record and fast forward for half an hour but even then I couldn't ignore the gaping holes in the "plot".The strange behaviour of Geir Jansen seems to go unnoticed by all around him. Twice he just happened to be in uniform on the scene of a crime investigation involving him and commandeered a jeep for his own nefarious purposes without any apparent permission to leave or use said vehicle.
His huge white van must have been used dozens of time for the transport of bodies to and from his (unusually smart) house on an estate, yet neighbours had not noticed or reported odd goings-on.
As for 3 women wandering around for days in the same clothes (and sleeping in them, too) without needing food, water and a toilet .....
