There's been some discussion of European's crime fiction
recently, which I don't plan to enter, except to support the
excellence of their police procedurals--an excellent way to
"learn the culture," IMHO.
In that line, I've just had an opportunity to watch several
episodes of the Martin Beck series, adapted for Swedish
television, and would recommend them to any of you who can
locate them. Very nice counterpoint of police team
relationships against the search for a killer. A hardboiled
realism and sadness that few American series have
attained.
Also heard of a German television series called "Scene of the
Crime." Anyone seen any of those episodes?
