Evaluated as a crime series the Detective from Beledweyne is very light. The time the series spends on social commentary and comedy should however not be ignored. Good acting from at least the two main characters also add to the enjoyiment. A nice modern feel to the script is never wrong either. The storyline moves on at a suitable pace from beginning to end in nice logical fashion.
Together these ingredients come together to a surprisingly enjoyable four hours of watching the six pieces of season one. The end of season one clearly indicate a season two is planned, which I will definitely watch.

Tidsresenaren is an excellent 60 min piece about Henrik Wahlforss. I had never heard of this person before watching this documentary, but he was a swedish/finnish industrial designer/politician. He tried starting a green wave around 1970 at least 20 years before everyone else. It is almost scary to see how this unknown person was 10-20 years ahead of most people on areas as different as voice control of computers, wheelchairs and energy from windmills.
Whalforss achieved little success, as most people so far ahead of their time. He died in 2015 after ten years of serious illness. He was never a rich man but always had a loving family around him. His whole life was spent to try to get his ideas on the agenda.
Due to his lack of success, documentation of Wahlforss' life is a bit sketchy. This documentary does an excellent job with what little information there is. The 60 mins are spent rediscovering this remarkable person with the help of his surviving family, friends and some papers and video recordings.

Gotti: Godfather and Son is an excellent series. In 4 episodes of about 45 mins each one gets to follow the story of New York Mafia boss John Gotti and his son John jr, told by the Gotti family. The insights to mafia life in New York around year 1990 are unique, informative and entertaining.
While enjoying this series one should however not for a second forget that these are all bad guys painting a picture of themselves that is as glorious and positive as can be done. They caused tragedy, suffering and harm to thousands of people, and this is real life, not some story based on a fairy tale.
