Netflix has three Danish TV movies made of three of Jussi Adler-Olsen's novels.
They are excellent, not least because they lean toward the darkness.
In the novels, the curmudgeonly character Carl Morck seems too clownishly like Backstrom.
Not at all in these films.
Netflix has several fine foreign polars, subtitled in English.
Nice to see life can exist in countries that lack a divine mission to lead the world.
Putting an end to evil-doers and making the world safe for democracy, and all that.
To hear our politicians talk, the American people would have no idea what to make of politics, or even life, without American exceptionalism, our divine mission, and our unique status as the indispensable nation, the world's only superpower.
Or maybe it's just they who would have no idea.
