Also available in Australia (Region 4) PAL format, although the Australian producers, Madman Entertainment, generally release most of DVDs region free (Region 0). It is in the Australian/UK/European PAL format though and your equipment will need to be able to receive that. This series was previously released in 2 separate volumes for Series One and has been replaced by this complete series.
A good Australian online retailer, Devoted DVD, can confirm your compatibility requirements prior to purchase,

Bear in mind that that both this release and the UK Region 2 release are not sold in huge volumes and consequently price discounting may be limited. They export ex-GST to off-shore residents.
A good UK price watch service online is Find-DVd which I use daily to monitor price movements. Here is a direct link to the title in question:

If ordering from Amazon UK, and you live outside the UK and Europe, you can import the DVD ex-VAT, which is now 20% if they warehouse it in mainland UK (not applicable if stock is warehoused in the Channel Islands or Europe) and can make the purchase worthwhile.
Having seen both the original and the Canadian produced series, the original, as usual, is the better of the two, imho. Mind you, I do have a passion for "Nordic Noir" crime series and sub-titles become redundent to me after a period and never an issue.
Hope this helos. Good luck. :)
