ANYONE IN IT WE KNOW?

THE LOW DOWN 

Forensic crime drama from Scandinavia. The physical size of Denmark enables a central, mobile forensic laboratory, and this laboratory forms the centerpiece of Unit One (known in Sweden as  “Mordkommissionen”). The cops & scientists who staff the laboratory have more to worry about than the crimes, and from these concerns, the dramas spring.

THE VERDICT

The only Danish TV series to win an International Emmy Award, Unit One certainly makes for gripping viewing, the group is a close knit one whose commitment to solving crimes is matched only by their affectionate solidarity in the face of the darker aspects of human nature that they encounter in their work.  

The very nature of the teams work, spending up to 230 days a year away from their family, means they naturally pull together and the series opens in mesmerising fashion when Unit One’s chief of Homicide, Torben, is found brutally murdered together with his flat mate. Naturally the team are devastated but this sets up the arrival of the youngish , Ingrid Dahl, instead of the older I.P. who was in line for promotion.  Ingrid goes down the wrong track from the beginning, but when she admits her mistake and starts to move the unit along, they begin to work with her.

 

Unit One is easily the equal of any of the glossy American series currently filling up the airwaves and is well worth seeking out.
