Held our interest but major problems with the Icelandic series Case

Persisted with the Icelandic miniseries Case right to the end of season 1, nine episodes, mostly out of curiosity, maybe also out of inertia; as noted in earlier post, Case can be commended for taking a close look at the problem of teenage sex slavery and addiction - but, seriously, to watch this series you'd think, A, that Iceland is the most corrupt place on the planet, B, that Icelandic officials are among the stupidest in the world in that they can't see a crime or a criminal staring them right in the face, C, that the force behind the exploitation of young, vulnerable girls who get addicted to Rx and sell their bodies to get a fix is always a church deacon or a prominent white-shoe attorney, and D that there's not a single kid in all of Iceland who's just a healthy, ordinary teen. We eagerly followed the series to see how the plot strands would tie together, but more than once just had to say: Ridiculous. Yes, you can make a seemingly innocent and upright guy monster of perversion and squalor, but, really - nobody notices this over the course of decades in the small city of Reykjavik? We feel the heavy hand of a screenwriter at work. The series neatly - too neatly - opens the door at the end of another season, seemingly on the same theme - sexual abuse by an upstanding citizen. One was enough.
