Did Anybody Guess the Killer Early On? (SPOILERS)


I did and ended up being somewhat disappointed for the rest of the show. There was a scene fairly early on (maybe just before or after Nanna's funeral) where Vagn was framed standing apart from the group of family/friends with his back to the camera, the typical 'suspicious character'. I remember thinking, 'It's him!' but didn't know why at that stage, or what his motivation might be. And wasn't his admitted motivation pretty poor? A lot of loose ends in this series...

Most of the way through I thought Vagn seemed a bit shifty and suspicious, so well done on the part of the writers. I will admit I thought the taxi driver (Leon) was quite probable as the killer, although I didn't see a clear motive for him. I also thought the politician Meyer shot was a good candidate. So many twists and turns, it was a lot of fun to watch.

I suspected him from pretty early on,his general shifty air and the way the camera would briefly linger on him at times at the end of a scene involving him.As the show went on I was thrown by some of the red herrings that the storyline threw but he was always at the back of my mind as the killer.The fact that he dident really play a huge part in the storyline (till the last few episodes) got me thinking that the script was building up to some revelation with him.

Yes I suspected him straight away because of 1)the bandaid on his neck 2)the way he was so quick to incite revenge on suspects ie the teacher and 3)both his parents were doctors and he did go to med school for 2 years so he couldn't have been as thick as he made himself out to be. Of course after more red herrings and suspects were thrown in I changed my mind.
