Modus - Swedish drama on BBC4

StephenHarris

Is anyone watching this on BBC4? I ask as one of the main characters is an autistic girl hitting puberty who witnesses a murder.

I'm wondering whether this character accurately reflects life on the 'higher end of the spectrum'.

  • Hi Stephen,

    Yes I watched the first two episodes of Modus. Scandinoir is something I enjoy having watched "The Bridge" recently. I did not pick up the connection with autism I have to admit so cannot comment on your assessment.

    I will pay particular attention to that connection in future episodes if I remember to watch it.  I will only say I thought "The Bridge" was compelling viewing and seemed to catch my attention in a way I have never felt before. I have always dismissed fiction as not real but drama can be revealing I now recognise as lifting the lid on the human experience albeit from one persons perspective and not necessarily the truth.

    Borgen was also compelling viewing and gave me hope for the future of politics.

    Hope you have got your sexual thoughts in perspective these days. I have recently acknowledged I have been pursuing sex all my life mistaking it for love. We are all screwed up in reality and I think the Scandanavians can teach us a lot about how to exist in harmony with each other.

    Best wishes , Laddie.
