<\/a>Actress Sofie Gr\u00e5b\u00f8l plays the main character of \u201dForbrydelsen\u201d<\/p><\/div>Et lig<\/strong> [lee-y<\/a> or lee\u2019] (a dead person, a corpse) is found at the harbour in a misty, almost ghostly city that bears a more than faint resemblance to Copenhagen\u2026 In the next instant, politikvinden<\/strong> (the female police officer) Sarah Lund is on the spot with her young, male assistant. Sarah\u2019s determined to decipher yet another riddle in her long and successful career as an efterforsker<\/strong> (investigator) \u2013 though she\u2019d rather be at a special reception for officers i lang og tro tjeneste\u00a0<\/strong>(\u201din long an faithful service\u201d)\u2026<\/p>\n In the meantime, forvirring<\/strong> (confusion) and intrigues are making it hard to be a Danish politiker<\/strong> (politician). Statsministeren<\/strong> (the PM) is busy having an affair with a leader of the opposition, while his government are fighting to prevent the powerful shipping company Zeeland from outsorcing hundreds of industrial jobs. Zeeland\u2019s inheritor and ejer<\/strong> (owner) Robert takes part in hyper-serious meetings with men with black slips<\/strong> (tie\/s, singular and plural is the same) \u2013 while his mind is glooming about his problems with his ex, and their daughter Emilie, who has started to behave in strange ways\u2026<\/p>\n Yesterday marked the beginning of the third and last season of Forbrydelsen<\/strong><\/em> (\u201dThe Crime\u201d) \u2013 one of the most popular Danish tv-serie\/r<\/strong> (serial\/s) in recent years. Over the next Sundays huge parts of the Danish population will be glued to their screens \u2013 as will many people in other countries.<\/p>\n Forbrydelsen<\/em> has become an international hit. Spectators in Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom \u2013 among others \u2013 have fallen in love with the frail-but-strong Sarah Lund (played by Sofie Gr\u00e5b\u00f8l) in her trademark sweater<\/strong> [SVETor] (jersey, sweater). In fact, the serial, known as The Killing <\/em>in Britain, has become so popular among the British that when the English Prince Charles and his wife Camilla visited Denmark this March, one of the important things on Camilla\u2019s to-do list was \u2026 meeting Sofie Gr\u00e5b\u00f8l and the other actors at the set of Forbrydelsen<\/em>! Ms Gr\u00e5b\u00f8l knew just which gift to present to the Duchess of Cornwall: a sweater<\/a>.<\/p>\n Forbrydelsen<\/em> is an exciting piece of entertainment. It\u2019s also interesting to watch as a parody of the jet set part of urban Denmark. The political parties of the serial look disturbingly much like renamed versions of actual parties, and doesn\u2019t Zeeland just make you think about the world-famous shipping company M\u00e6rsk<\/strong>?<\/p>\n The very best thing about Forbrydelsen<\/em> is that it even has inspired some people to begin learning Danish<\/a> \u2013 or so I\u2019ve heard! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Are you watching this serial in your country?
