Up until season 3 shetland was good. After that this show thrived on abuse, trauma and all sorts of depressing concepts and tendencies. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone seeking decent entertainment.

Beautifully executed cerebral crime drama with thoughtful characters and plenty of unfolding plot twists that don't rely on graphic violence or action/adventure, shot in a gorgeous setting.

I rarely rewatch crime shows - but Shetland is absolutely excellent. I don't mind that I already know at this point 'who did it' but just love the mood the show portrays and the great & relatable acting. Can't wait for Season 4!
