Once again, our political figure is shadowed by a male and female aide, both of who will no doubt have their own secrets and agendas as the series progresses if they’re true to form. This series it appears we’re going to be following the Danish prime minister Kristian Kamper in his bid to win the upcoming election. If there’s really one criticism that can be levelled at the opening episode of series three it’s that there just isn’t enough Lund in it, but maybe that’s to be expected.Īs in the previous series, Sarah Lund is just one part of The Killing jigsaw, a puzzle which wouldn’t be complete without a political sub plot.

Gråbøl’s performance is as captivating as it’s ever been, perhaps even more so than it was in series two when Lund was in full on emotional shutdown mode. It’s the Lund who pretends to long for a more stable life. Sofie Gråbøl has long since made Sarah Lund her signature role but this series she’s showing us a side of Lund we’ve rarely glimpsed since the beginning of series one. By the conclusion of episode one, we’ve been left in no doubt that the desk job is the furthest thing from Lund’s mind. When her son cancels on her that’s all it takes for her to start rifling through photos of body parts and putting the clues together.

Unfortunately for Lund, but fortunately for us as Juncker is no Sarah substitute, it only takes one crack for her defences to begin to crumble. This Sarah Lund is trying to learn from her mistakes and she has a family dinner to prepare. The wheel barrow seems like a distraction to try and stop herself getting dragged in. At the crime scene, we can see her fighting her intrigue in what is unfolding before her.
Is she falling in line at long last? Well, not quite.
Has Lund lost her edge? She even discards the jeans and jumper combo in favour of a smart police uniform. In fact, once at the crime scene, she stands around looking mostly bored, letting Juncker do the work while she barters over the price of a wheel barrow to help with her garden! When Brix asks her to take a look at the body, her primary concern is that he is still going to put in a good word for her with regards to a desk job that she is after now she’s done twenty five years in the police service. Our first glimpse of her this series has her arranging a dinner with her son and his girlfriend. Subscribe for only $4.99/mo Watch Practically Anywhere.Lund though seems almost disinterested.
