This is a hybrid of British and Scandinavian series of this kind, further highlighted by the Norwegian origin of the main character Annika (Nicola Walker). Annika begins a new phase of her career by being transferred to Glasgow's Maritime Crime Investigation Unit. She is a very peculiar woman, I would say, with some extravagance, fixated on all these tales about the Vikings and other such sources and constantly quoting them to us, because as an original technique there are used constant monologues of the heroine, in which she addresses the viewer. I can’t say that this technique seemed successful to me, for all her qualities, thanks to which she successfully solves crimes, it looks rather strange. No less strange look her relationship with her daughter, with whom they have a rather contradictory relationship, but with the establishment of a relationship, it seems that everything is not very simple. But some just like this character, I did not find the series particularly interesting.
