I enjoyed this while also thinking that a nice side effect of climate change is that the sea will probably eat this house and the lifestyle which goes with it.

Yes, she was great. Every rich person melodrama could benefit from a normalish audience surrogate who can express our exasperation with them while simultaneously solving the crime.

This show is stupid entertaining fluff but really lost me when multiple super rich people did not immediately lawyer-up and blabbed to the cops. Would NEVER happen.

Loving the cynical sexy older vamp Isabelle Adjani in her fabulous purple robes. Goals!!!

I loved it!: I watched it in a 6 hour highly-enjoyable Sunday afternoon binge.

This was my 9th project from Susanne Bier, and my second favorite drama by her. She moved on from her Danish beginnings to the international market, but this one was the closest to her very best film, After the wedding. 8/10.
