DNA Crime Drama on BBC4

Yes, the little girl did look very much like the actress who played his wife .... maybe she was her daughter in real life.

I enjoyed it.

??I hope so tired

I watched it too and thoroughly enjoyed it , the best thing I've seen for a while . It was advertised as Series 1 so does that mean that there might be a 2 ?

Thoroughly enjoyed this , agree with Bluebelle realistic ending and no winners, thought Charlotte Rampling was very good in it

Very sad ending, the Danish actor who played father of the missing baby daughter evoked that sadness very well. The little girl cast as the five year old at the end had an incredible likeness to his ex wife, the mother. It was a good series worth watching. Lets hope the snippets shown from the new one "Valhalla" starting next week will also prove to be as good.

Really enjoyed!

Another excellent Nordic Noir series, even the Danish husband watched it! I thought it had the perfect ending ... Rolf looked so happy at meeting his daughter finally.

Loved the ending. Think I'm getting a thing for Nordic policemen Wallander, Martin Rohde in the Bridge, now Rolf in DNA
It was good to see Charlotte Rampling again.

Watched the last episode last night and thoroughly enjoyed it
A really good story line that wasn’t too hard to follow although there were flash backs but it was a deep sad story with very good acting
Such a sad but realistic ending with no winners

I think the characters, the storyline and acting in DNA are very good indeed. It is harrowing though. I was going to give it a miss because anything that involves children in peril, I usually avoid like the plague. Sometimes I think you just have to suspend your disbelief at some of the scenes otherwise they’d never be a story. The first episode certainly implied a rather lax take on parenting.

8 episodes in all - 2 more to go.

Loving this series. Didn’t really understand why he took his daughter on the ferry rather than asking his friends wife to look after her. Yes the nuns are really scary.

He took the baby with him otherwise there would not have been his personal involvement in the plot ?. IMO the plot would have been better if he’d asked a neighbour to look after the baby.

Clearly, I've got a lot more to catch up with and yes having first hand experience of nuns at my convent school, they were indeed a scary lot There was the odd nice one like the French nun who took us for art.

@fevertree, me too. I’ve enjoyed it so far, but this did look like a plot contrivance too far - baby out on deck in a pram in a storm - oops, dad has to go inside to throw up....
Just too ‘convenient’!

The childbirth scenes in the convent were really upsetting.

Yes we have the last one (I think) to watch.

The nuns remind so much of stories you hear in this country and Ireland.

We watched the current two episodes last night. It's good, great cast and interesting story line. The policeman took his baby to work because it was his turn to look after her but like many obsessives, couldn't prioritise her needs over his work. Ok that stretches credibility but its part of the story.
Those nuns are scrarey aren't they

I've come to this series late and am catching up have seen 3 episodes so far, I think it's very good, a somewhat upsetting subject of course. I have been disappointed in some of the Danish series of late, after the initial euphoria with the better Scandi exports, but this one is back on form. Episode 2 featured one of the much derided mink farms of Denmark which are very much in the news at present.

I knew I'd seen the Polish actress before she was in "World on Fire" played a resistance fighter in war torn Poland.

I’m just loving this - but have to concentrate.

The nest episode is about to start and I will be watching.

DH got a bit exasperated as I chuntered at a few things that happened.

I'm finding it very hard to believe that a policeman would leave his baby unattended on a ferry in stormy weather .

I found it difficult to believe he took her in the first place.

But we have to suspend belief.

Oh, I hate that, fevertree!

difficult to suspend belief with husband as commentator. I shall watch Episode 3 on my own.
