terrible... so disappointed.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

First time watching this series, despite being from Denmark.I think what I like and what other people seems to like but may not know, is that all the cases are from real life police work, by the special Danish task Rejseholdet. And AFAIK, Rejseholdet operates in much the same way IRL. Only the persons and their personal lives are fictional.I've only watched 7 episodes so far, but I'm already hooked. A few episodes haven't been so exiting, but I prefer reality over fiction in this case. There are a few minor issues, like I'm not sure it was possible to do DNA tests this quick in the 90's. But then again, each episode needs to function on a time line for TV.The series is a lot more Sherlock Holmes than action, of which there's very little of. And then again cases are not solved as unrealistic as in CSI etc. It's a quiet kind of slow speed detective series.

Re Unit One; Read the comments of (I've forgotten in the runaround here)but laughed out loud at;'What the series lack in action, is made up in the show of realism presented. The crimes are not solved at gunpoint, but rather in careful examination of the crimescene and the general public's help (remember Denmark is a small country, so often someone is bound to know something or have seen something).''Lacks in action', does the person mean car smashes every 10 seconds, 400 parking meter attendants dressed in black, grunting,'Hup hup hup hup , as they carry anti-aircraft and anti-tank bazooka's and machine guns etc, not to mention gas bombs and enough ammo for world war 3, which they expend in typical Yank style of, aim anywhere and lock the trigger until everything in the general area is on fire, dead, and mainly obliterated!? and thats for a jay walker! That is not police real life! And the best bit, 'Denmark is a small country, so often someone is bound to know something or have seen something'. I love it, and I'll bet the Danes are ROTFL. Denmark - Population: 5,432,335, thats 5 and a half million people, and the Area: 42,930 SQ KM.. Population Density (people (average) per square km)=123 in 2000. Absolutely no room to breathe whatsoever. "yeh, ah seen it, ah was looking out of my window in Ringkobing, and ah seen dis man wiv dirty shoes, obvious a crinimal, in Hillerad...come quick!"You MUST be an American.A GREAT programme,(this is English, not American, so the 'spell-checker doesn't like it) a vast relief from the Rambo-istic plastic plods, with glib, slick, zoom-on-the-serious-but-handsome/beautiful-best profile, emetic American drivel that they attempt to force-feed us day after plastic day. Thank Zeus for the off-button.

I think my family must be the only one in Australia that sits down and watches Unit One every Friday. But we do. We stumbled across it last year when nothing else was on, and have watched it every week since. Not only do I enjoy listening to the Danish speakers, but the story lines are great. Unit One is a mobile police unit, that travels over Denmark in a semi-trailer that is their office. The group are not only colleagues, they're like family. Each week a new crime must be solved, sending them from one end of the country to the other. But the stories also dive into their personal lives. Ingrid's son, Allan's wife, Gaby and Johnny's relationship... Each week is a new and exciting episode. That is what keeps me coming back, despite the bright yellow subtitles I have to put up with. All in all, Unit One is a brilliant show, with wonderful writing and acting. I give it 8/10

Don't regard the previous comment which was apparently made by a person not able to be content. This series is a show VERY close to reality police work and focus was on this; not technical professionalism - furthermore this is not a Spielberg movie but a relative low budget Danish drama series. And it won an Emmy!
