Unni Lindell: Set 1

undefined

IN NORWEGIAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES In this series based on the popular crime novels by prolific Norwegian author Unni Lindell, middle-aged detective Cato Isaksen (Reidar Sørensen) performs superbly at work while his personal life, on a good day, resembles barely-managed chaos. Careening between significant others and keeping up with three young sons by two different mothers, Cato tries his best to do right by all the players. It’s a tug between family obligations and his all-consuming job as a homicide detective for the city of Oslo, although a few of his challenges at work are self-created. His abrasive manner and single-minded determination put him in conflict with superiors who seem more interested in meeting budgets than in solving crimes. Cato’s crack team of cops are all used to his quirks: his wisecracking lieutenant Roger Høibakk, the brilliant and intuitive Randi Johansen, and the solid and dependable veteran Asle Tengs. Investigations take him the length and breadth of Oslo: from the magnificent fjords and spectacular ains surrounding the city, to the darkest backstreets of the Norwegian capital. To get from the job, Cato finds solace in time alone with his faithful cat, Marmalade, and grows to cherish the time spent with his children - even if he does keep canceling family vacations on account of work! The Snake Bearer - Cato investigates the death of an Oslo man found stabbed in his apartment. The murder has striking similarities to a previous, unsolved case. When an accomplished composer is stabbed in his home, it looks as if a serial killer is on the loose. The Dream Catcher - A 19-year-old girl is found drowned in Oslo harbor, and someone has been secretly filming the victim's sister and her roommates. Cato learns that his son knew the girls, but he refuses to cooperate with the investigation. The Mourning Cloak - A young mother is found murdered in her home. A few days later her son disappears, and Cato discovers the victim's childhood friend has been missing for over a year. The investigation leads to a body in a swamp and dark childhood secrets.
