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. The series debuted on 10 October 2004 in Denmark. It won an International Emmy Award from the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for best non-American television drama series in 2005. There were three seasons; the second season premiered in Denmark on 9 October 2005 and the third on 8 October 2006.


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.

Forgiveness

Recently I started to rewatch a Danish tv-series I like, I watched it back in 2005 something and I bought the dvd boxes some time back.
And I just wanted to share the title song, which I think is an amazing song!!!

Enjoy!

Broen/Bron 2

Season 2 of the mega hit drama, Broen/Bron is back with a second season.
If you followed the first you can sorta expect what to see.
It's fun to have a second season, and this is a really good collaboration between Denmark and Sweden.
Also it's the same main cast. Kim Bodina is one of my fave Danish actors, but the age starts to show ^^
The first episode just aired and I'm excited to follow this season as well!!
Just like last season they, Danish and Swedish broadcasting will try to show it simultaneously as it otherwise will spoil a lot. Also most people in Denmark and in Skåne, Sweden have both Danish and Swedish TV and could therefore watch the series either way which also is a small spoiler alert.

Story
A rusty old coaster en route in the Öresund sound suddenly veers off course and heads for the Øresund Bridge. The Maritime Administration in Malmö calls the coaster, but gets no answer. The operator’s call echoes on the ship’s empty bridge. The crew is nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, the coaster, making good speed, rams the concrete foundations laid out to protect the bridge. The ship is empty – or so it is believed until five people are found chained, cold and exhausted below deck. Saga Norén (Sofia Helin) from Malmö CID arrives at the scene and starts working on finding the identities of the five people.

The unknown victims, of whom three are Swedish and two Danish, are brought to a hospital in Malmö. Without hesitation, Saga contacts her Danish colleague, Martin Rohde and their new investigation begins.

Cast
Sofia Helin as Saga Norén, the lead homicide detective in Malmö
Kim Bodnia as Martin Rohde, the lead homicide detective in Copenhagen
Dag Malmberg as Hans Petterson, a senior criminal police officer in Malmö
Sarah Boberg as Lillian, a senior criminal police officer in Copenhagen
