Name ONE bad British TV Series. (You can’t!)

Well, this one is no exception.

An absolutely incredible British drama - it is not your average TV Cop / Mistery Show.

This is an art combination of the protagonist's manic and depressive personality, along with the created ambiance of darkness, the music and the scenarios.

All of these elements have created an atmosphere that was almost too sordid to watch. (Anna Friel played the main role exceptionally.)

It is profoundly disturbing.

Long story short: “Set in Rosenfeldt's unique style of Nordic Noir, the body of a missing child is discovered inside a wall and a task-force is assembled to catch the killer. A complex set of characters from all walks of life and interweaving storylines will take viewers on a dark and emotional journey with turns at every corner.”

Wow. What a great show!

Season 1 introduces us to how the FBI created the Behavioral Sciences Department (which then lead to the development of tools to be used whilst performing criminal analysis and profiling based on psychological traits via interviews with serial killers - based on real events).

Season 2 gave me mixed feelings (although to me it was better than the first one) only because they cut the potential of some of the cast members of Season 1, however they focused on how the FBI came up with endless ways to catch the most terrifying serial killer - The Atlanta Boogeyman.

Plus, I really liked the scenic 20-seconds-hints given in the beginning of each episode regarding a totally different serial killer from Kansas.

Overall it’s alarming knowing that those events indeed happened irl which of course made the series exponentially interesting, but still disturbing.

Various reports and studies show that the mental health concept is muffled amongst man. This documentary just proves it and although I think this concept doesn’t excuse the fact that Aaron committed horrible crimes, the behavior that led to his final decision relies a lot on his mental health issues, I think.

Not an article or a scientific paper, it’s simply a LinkedIn post that I think it’s very accurate about how annoying the “hustle culture” can be when taken to an extreme level.

Let me know what you think.
