The plot is interesting, but it could have been put into 4 episodes of 40 minutes each and it would have been enough. Too drawn out. Translated to English
I fluctuate between 6 and 7. Reminds me more of British than Scandinavian TV shows. Well filmed and acted, slow but entertaining. At the same time, unfortunately, everything is very secondary, the denouement is not surprising, this has already happened more than once, just deja vu. But now there is a goal – to check out the book. Translated to English
A very canonical detective story with virtually no flaws. As the series progressed, the suspects were thrown up quite well, but the solution was still very predictable Translated to English
Hey, detective thriller, why are you so good? I was almost ready to give it 9 out of 10. The duo of actors who played the cops are good, even though they are amoebic guys. Maniac is great. The plot is not boring at all. There is suspense in the final episode. The ending is good. But everything is too according to the notes, without any frills. Translated to English
A good Scandinavian noir, which we love for all these features: darkness, slowness, a bewitching atmosphere of melancholy and anxiety, two ideal partners with a difficult fate… A classic detective story without unexpectedly complex twists, but with an interesting denouement. Translated to English
A good Scandinavian detective who makes you puzzle over finding out the killer. The plot does not allow the drama to overshadow the rest of the events. It was interesting to watch the series. Translated to English
Danish neo-noir in the spirit of "The Bridge", "The Murder" with all the ingredients. Dark secrets and cruelty behind the external gloss, symbols, references to the past, leisurely plot development like northern cold blood. There is only one complaint, such a famous actor in supporting roles attracts attention too early . Translated to English
Very fit. A dark detective with a slowly developing plot. I would say the Scandinavian True Detective, there are too many similarities. The characters are good, the plot is logical. In some places it dragged on too much, but the Scandinavians always have it, a local feature. Z.Y. Didn’t read the book. Translated to English
A quality Scandinavian detective story that is fun to watch from start to finish. Very nice actors and a good plot in the style of the mysterium. Translated to English
"The Chestnut Man" – This is a great series! Perhaps one of the best series from Netflix in recent times. Despite the fact that there are only 6 episodes in the series, the authors were able to convey the main idea. And each episode revealed more and more secrets about the murders and kept us in suspense until the end of the series Translated to English
Almost the perfect detective! Moderately drawn out, with excellent actors, a tense, dense plot and stunning landscapes. Danish noir is in no way inferior to Swedish, maybe just a little softer. In general, 10 chestnut men out of 10)) Translated to English
