Ørnen: En krimi-odyssé

I posted the theme song for this drama the other day, as I said then, I have started to re-watch this drama series.
I really like it. I still wonder why I don't remember more of it while watching ^^
Anyway I like the stories and how they mixed so many things and still it's easy to follow. Also they travel a lot - Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Russia, Germany...
But I shouldn't be surprised right?! I mean Danish dramas as to 90% always awesome ^^

The Eagle: A Crime Odyssey (In Danish: "Ørnen: En krimi-odyssé") is a Danish police procedural television series produced by Danmarks Radio, created and written by Peter Thorsboe and Mai Brostrøm.

Plot
The series is named after the lead character, a half-Icelandic half-Danish police officer named Halgrim Ørn Hallgrimsson, nicknamed "Ørnen" (the eagle). In the first episode, a new international criminal investigative unit is being formed under Thea Nellemann, and Hallgrimsson is persuaded to take the job as the lead investigator for the unit. He puts together a small investigation team that are experts in their respective fields. Their cases cross the borders between Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Russia and various other countries; and involve biker gangs, former Russian KGB, possible terrorist threats and international fraud. Throughout the series Hallgrimsson deals with recurring flashbacks and possibly post-traumatic stress from a childhood incident.
