Inatttention to weapon details

[davalew · 8/10 · 14 May 2022]

The victim is found holding a revolver. The detectives when speaking of the gun say that it had a half empty magazine. Revolvers load rimmed cartridges and do not have magazines which take rimless ammunition. When searching the victims house they find a box of rimless cartridges although the victim's gun was a revolver. To cap it all later in the episode the father of another victim seeking revenge goes to his attic and takes out of hiding his pistol, which is actually the same revolver seen in the hands of the other victim earlier in the episode. I can only think they shot the first scene with a semi automatic pistol, had to reshoot it and had lost access to the original gun and used the revolver they had used in the later scene because it was the only weapon available to them at the time.

Otherwise it's an interesting detective story for people who don't understand guns.

Can Josef get justice for an old friend?

[Tweekums · 8/10 · 27 May 2022]

As this episode opens a goldsmith interrupts a burglar who is trying to access his safe; when threatened he gives the combination but then suffers a fatal heart attack. A month later a man is found dead in woodland; he has clearly been murdered. Meanwhile Josef, a member of Beck's team, attends a school reunion and reconnects with old friends, two sisters, Cissi and Åsa Karlsson, who happen to be the daughters of the goldsmith. He gets involved with Cissi, who tells him the police closed her father's case as he died from a heart attack. He looks into the case and finds a suspect. As the number of death's rises he is cautioned that he is too close to people involved in the case but can't bring himself to fully step away from the investigation.

I thought this was a solid episode; it was nice to have a story centred on team member Josef rather than one of the more senior members. The story provided some good twists... although as a previous reviewer commented the fact that we were shown somebody holding a revolver followed by the discovery of 9mm ammunition, which won't work in that pistol, will lead those who know a little about firearms to assume they can't be connected! There are some good tense scenes; and one or two impressively shocking moments. The acting is solid is solid throughout; in particular Martin Wallström and Malin Mases Arvidsson as Josef and Cissi. Overall a TV solid murder mystery that fans of the genre should enjoy.
