What a nasty piece of work is the brother-in-law, John Paul (a very effective portrayal from Claes Bang). You just want to kill him yourself! There is always one of those nasty horrible kinds in a family. So watching the sisters plot and enact Jean Paul's demise is such a pleasure in the most macabre way! The magic is the relationship between the sisters that feels so authentic, the way they look out for one another and bounce of each other with convincing banter. I just want to be part of this wonderful twisted family. The extra bonus is the bumbling insurance half-brothers who add the entertaining value as they attempt to break the mysterious case open. Haven't seen the Belgian version, but this UK remake looks like it's going to stand on its own, thanks to the performances, playful direction and a script that has so much on offer after the first two episodes, enough to get you addictive to this dark comedy thriller.
