Likely Jan LukasApologies for social silence of late: too busy with stuff and health stuff and other stuff and so forth … stuff it. 😬🙄😂
Recent news about the new cross-border bridge has prompted me to pop up and suggest that this is a ***FAB*** opportunity for #Canada to assert our #Arctic #Sovereignty by producing our first-ever #ScandiNoir series set on OUR bridge!
#ColmFeori for the lead detective, perhaps?

Erik Schlicksbier„Der Pass“ ( #Sky / #Netflix ) zeigt, dass #ScandiNoir auch im deutschsprachigen Raum möglich ist. Tolle Grundidee, fantastische Bilder und Stimmung. Leider krankt das Drehbuch der #Serie aber an gnadenloser Überfrachtung mit Kreuzchen in jeder Klischee-Rubrik und gerade das Voice Acting der deutschen Schauspieler überzeugt mal wieder nicht völlig. Besonders die Hauptdarstellerin und ihr Liebhaber wackeln da, haben aber auch keine Hilfe durch die Worte, die sie sprechen müssen.

Andi ChorleyFaceless Killers (Swedish: Mördare utan ansikte) is a 1991 crime novel by the Swedish writer Henning Mankell, and the first in his acclaimed Wallander series. The English translation by Steven T. Murray was published in 1997. - Wikipedia
The first Wallander and appropriately enough, my first. Tremendously enjoyed this Scandi noir and will read the rest of the series which I have on my shelves in the near future. In the process of following the solving of the brutal murders in this novel I have become far more familiar with the geography of Skåne County. Malmö is the only place I have visited in that area; I swam in the Öresund.
