Great show and phenomenal actors but I roll my eyes at how omnipotent the villians are in this series. They can do anything they want, and it's never explained how they did it. For instance they:

  • Acquired hydrogen chloride gas.
  • Knew how to pump the gas into the truck.
  • Knew how to pump the gas into the truck at a rate where it wouldn't kill everyone right away.
  • Knew how to build a collar bomb.
  • Knew how to set up a dedicated web cam which could only be seen on a specific laptop.
  • Broke into the flat to set up the web cam without getting caught.
  • Despite Anton being of slight build they managed to overpower and kidnap 11 people and force them into the truck.
  • Snuck into a house during the night while the adults slept, deposited several kids there, then drugged and removed the kids that lived there without waking anyone.

And that's just season 3!

Note: I see that krankydoodle addressed some of these points in the post above mine, apologies.

Information about how to do many of those things is available on the Internet, and you don't even need to go to the Dark Web to find it.

 

I really enjoyed this series except...EVERY season starts off with one crime and by the end of that particular season it's like that crime has been forgotten in favor of some other atrocity which may or may not have any connections. That was annoying as hell even though I knew it was going to happen.

I like how Karl never judged or commented on Elise's "interesting" sex life, he just wanted her to be happy. Which, sadly, is why I think she blew herself up. because she looked at how her personal life had spiraled not out of control, but off kilter, from being in a relationship with a guy who it turned out kind of actively disliked her the entire time they were together, to hooking up with a terrorist, which ended up with some super creepy pedophile doctor jamming a needle into her eyeball and injecting her with some super bug to not having any relationship.
