The Rosie Larsen case Spoiler
I'm on episode 6 of season 2 and I already think it's been dragging on for waaaaaaaay too long, like ok I get wanting to create some suspense and a slow burn but it's getting BORING. Every time they introduce someone and then they're "Oh oops, not the killer" like okay but you're dragging this too long, they should've wrapped it up in season 1 or at the beginning of season 2 cuz at this point it's just getting monotonous. Just have a new case in season 2 like the other seasons, that way we could've had four cases, something more interesting than this. Also the mom is such a bitch, first of all, wtf kinda name is "Mitch" for a woman, and second of all, what a bitchy and cowardly move to leave your grieving husband and kids because "every piece of the house hurts you" as if it doesn't hurt them too. Like okay, I get that you're grieving but so is your family and they need you more than ever, but instead she abandoned them under the excuse of "tHeY dOnT nEeD mE" and dumped them on her sister who btw was a mom to them more than Mitch ever could, like how does leaving and going to some motel and cheating on your husband help?? Also, don't even get me started on this arc where she's chasing and watching this teenage girl in the motel, trying to bond with her, it's SO cringe like what? I'm supposed to feel sorry for her cuz she's trying to recreate what she had with her dead daughter. She didn't even know her and Rosie didn't like her according to Alexi. Idk how this will boil down so no spoilers please, like I said, I'm still at the beginning of season 2 but yeah, this is getting pretty repetitive and boring.

I've only recently watched the entire series, and I only stuck with it because I thought the two main characters Holder and Linden were really nicely written. I particularly liked the actor Joel and thought his acting was superb.
I thought the story spread over the first two seasons felt like the writers were making it up as they were going along.
Overall i enjoyed the series but there is no way I'd bother watching it again.

Exactly like it's not rewatchable, more like a one-time thing cuz at this point I just gotta finish it but goddamn this shit extends for way too long than it needs to. This story could've been wrapped up in 13 episodes max, season 2 was just filler.

You're going to be very disappointed. Frankly it was just unbelievable. But you have to finish it all off now. 😀

So now on to season 3.
My advice is don't Google anything now and stay away from this sub as well.
I made sure I watched the whole series once I started without reading anything.

I think it was written more to be broadcasted as episodes come out today create that suspense. When you watch it back to back and don’t have to wait I think it takes some charm. I felt terrible about Mitch trying to create a relationship like she had with her daughter with another girl. It’s terribly sad. She definitely should have never left her family- it was very selfish. A lot of this I can agree with you on easily!!

Came here to crib about the mom too, she practically forced her husband to beat the teacher and then proceeded to transfer all the blame onto him. And who thinks it's fine not to know about their 17 yr old daughter for 3 days ?

I agree, there are a lot of red herrings in S1/S2 and it was even worse watching it at the time because it was airing weekly! That said, I love the conclusion of S2. I think the pay off is worth it in the end but can definitely see why people would be frustrated watching.
