Pretty good series but it doesn't have the strength of characters that are developed in equivalent danish series such as Borgen and The Bridge. I would watch a Salamander 2 if it came out though.

Really enjoyed this. A great conspiracy thriller with Brussels as a back drop and twelve episodes for the story to develop. Makes a good change from endless CSI.

Lengthy but tight. A great original idea. Excellent acting. An absolute cracker!
