Lost me at three...

****spoilers******




I was suspending disbelief in order to try and enjoy this show, but at the end of episode three, I had to throw my hands up and surrender: The woman's child, whom she was looking for for two years, was in the car she was chasing... then the police grab the mother... and while everyone sees the car fleeing, she does not simply yell out, "My daughter is in THAT CAR!!!!". They had cops all over the area, who could have tried to catch the fleeing kidnappers... but even if they could not, screaming out what was happening would have been an obvious reaction. Instead, she quietly accepts being arrested, and watches her daughter get driven away.

Absolutely ludicrous. It was one of many examples of the poor, and lazy, scripting in this show... they often would have her right at the point of some great revelation, only to have people inexplicably subdue HER, instead of going after the bad guys. Like when the mysterious woman came to her house to grab her husband's notebook, and the men in the street held the mother, she could have simply said, "SHE is a BURGLAR! Stop her!"... or better yet, "SHE KNOWS WHERE MY daughter is!!"... well she may not have known, but to let her run away, when the burglar probably knows something about it, or her husband... but not a peep. She simply lets the guys hold her, silently, until her first possible lead walks away.

The first three episodes were sprinkled with implausible incidents and nonsensical reactions like this, along with unlikely coincidences that always made sure that the useless police would stop her, and let the criminals escape, over and over.

While I'm ranting, she is shot through the shoulder... nicking her heart.. and in a coma for 8 days... but is running around, using both arms, when released for the funeral? And saves the bad guy in the car, who was bleeding out into the lung, so he is relatively fine minutes later? That's some magic healing there.

I love Spiral, Case, Break, the Wallander series, and many of these foreign Netflix imports, and I'm far from a stickler for perfection. But a show has to have some reasonable, plausible story line, where people at least act within normal human expectations. This one doesn't even come close.
