#Forbrydelsen season 3 online series#
Series creator Søren Sveistrup has likened Lund to Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry, the trigger-happy cop with the decidedly malleable moral compass. That hardness infuses Lund’s personal life as well, as she immolates her relationships with her boyfriend, her teenage son, and her mother in pursuit of her quarry.
An investigation of byzantine complexity leads Lund through the murky waters of the Danish financial sector to the corridors of power, entangling a billionaire financier and his family, an assortment of venal civil servants, and even the Danish prime minister in a web of murder and deceit. If she can find the girl and stop the gruesome killings, there’s hope of redemption-or at least amends. This time, however, the victim is still alive, and Lund is forced to confront her past mistakes. The kidnapping harkens back to the first season, recalling the murder of teenager Nanna Birk Larsen. “Like most of us when we get older, we tend to think, ‘Let somebody else save the world.’”īut then a young girl is kidnapped-an act of as yet unexplained vengeance-and corpses begin piling up in a grisly (and connected) murder spree. “If you lose everything you invest, can you just put everything on the table again the next time?” Gråbøl recently asked in a newspaper interview.
She has put her past disgrace behind her, and she radiates an unsettling sense of complacency as she prepares to leave the Copenhagen police force for a cushy desk job. Season 3, which takes place several years since we last saw her, finds the detective’s career on a more solid footing. Previous seasons have followed Lund through a devastating sequence of hardships, both personal and professional, the result of outside forces and her own intractable nature. Outside the United States, however, the original is still going strong, as the enthralling third and likely final season of Forbrydelsen premieres in the United Kingdom this Saturday on BBC Four. Gråbøl, 44, has achieved cult status in Britain and abroad for her embodiment of Detective Inspector Sarah Lund, the grim-faced, Faroese sweater-clad cop with a penchant for solving impossible crimes while sacrificing everything else in the process.įorbrydelsen (literally “The Crime,” but generally translated as The Killing) was the basis for AMC’s short-lived murder-mystery series, which may or may not be resurrected thanks to an assist from Netflix. The Danish detective drama exemplifies the power of the provocative and globally significant Nordic noir genre, and the show's lead delivers one of television's most haunting performances of the past decade. It is tragic that American viewers have been denied the chance to become obsessed with Forbrydelsen and with the show’s magnetic star, Sofie Gråbøl.
