Unni Lindell is a Norwegian crime drama TV series that is based on the novels by Norwegian author Unni Lindell. The show premiered on NRK1 in 2005 and has since then been broadcast in several countries worldwide. The version available on MHz Networks has been translated into English subtitles for a wider audience.

The show follows the life of Cato Isaksen, played by Reidar Sørensen, who is a detective in the police force. He is joined by his colleagues, Marian Dahle, played by Marian Saastad Ottesen, and Vibeke Flagstad, played by Anneke Von Der Lippe. The team specializes in solving complex murder cases and other criminal incidents in Oslo, the capital of Norway.

One of the highlights of the show is the focus on character development. The characters are well-crafted and their personalities shine through in every episode. The relationships between the team members are complex, and they are not always on the same page. This leads to some tension and disagreements but ultimately makes the characters more relatable and human.

The production values of the show are exceptional. The filming locations are stunning and showcase some of the beautiful scenery of Norway. The background score is subtle and adds to the tension of the show. Most of the murders take place in scenic locations, which adds to their impact on the audience. The show is well-paced, with enough twists and turns to keep the audience invested in the story.

One of the things that set Unni Lindell apart from other crime dramas is the attention given to social issues. The show explores topics like racism, sexual harassment, domestic abuse, and drug addiction in a way that is both thought-provoking and entertaining. The writers do not shy away from depicting the harsh realities of these issues, but they do so in a way that is nuanced and not preachy.

The show has won several awards, both nationally and internationally. It has been praised for its excellent performances, writing, and direction. Marian Saastad Ottesen has won the best actress award at the Monte-Carlo TV Festival for her role as Marian Dahle. The show has also won several Gullruten awards, which are the equivalent of the Emmy awards in Norway.

Unni Lindell is a show that will appeal to fans of crime and mystery dramas. The show has a gritty realism to it that is both engaging and entertaining. The characters are well-developed, and the storylines are compelling. The show is perfect for binge-watching and will keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
