This production, build on real danish crime stories, is a experience through excellent directing, acting on all levels and has a nerve not often seen in crime series. Every episode is a thrill because it's seems like the hole team believe that "this is my life right now - this murder or murders are MY responsibility to solve" and the output is brilliant.As a viewer, you just have this wonderfully filling of being entertained cause it feels like their focus, on purpose or not, lie on that they WONT you to have a good time...:o) Don't miss this one, it's just right under 'Band of brothers' quality and is a "must have seen" experience - What a wonderful crime time !

This series only began (on SBS TV) here in Australia around a month ago, and I'm already hooked!! Whilst not the best or the most original cop show there is, it's well made, and the stories are believable, and the characters of the police are well drawn. Mostly, I like the balance between the crime-of-the-week and the personal lives of the detectives, where the latter never ever seems to overshadow the former, as it should be, but the personal insights into regular characters gives them substance and dimension.I'd recommend it to anyone who likes their crime shows on TV to be straight-forward and without too much fanfare and sensation.

This 32 part series is definitely a step up in Danish TV-making, there is nothing to complain about, the series is always on the cutting edged of the technology, and the viewers sitting on the ledge of their chairs. Finally a key element is that all the cases are adapted from real life situations, and non fictional characters and events. It starts out with a woman getting appointed head of the task force called "Rejseholdet" (who exist in real life) – the basically are the best of the best inside the Danish police (regarding killings and murders). And from then on a group of special trained police officers travel the Danish countryside catching criminals 32 times; some episodes are in fact double episodes or connected in other ways.

I've got all 32 episodes of Rejseholdet and , quite simply , I think it's one of the best series ever made.The title is effectively the same as the British TV series from the 70's The Sweeney and it is every bit as good as that series was.It's very atmospheric , the acting is excellent , the interplay between the characters is superb and adds to the realism of the series. Some of the asides , especially between Fischer and La Cour are very witty.Too many programmes on Danish television are nothing more than copies of English and American programmes. At its best , however , the Danish TV service ( danmarksradio ) has made some outstanding television series. Rejseholdet is amongst them
