Couldn't finish watching Department Q

Let's just say I couldn't wait to get to the end of the Danish film Department Q: A Conspiracy of Faith, and in fact couldn't even watch the end of the fil as the entire premise was so over the top and ridiculous - a man associated w/ a church of devout, fanatical Christians over many years has kidnapped children of church members, held them for ransom, and then tortured and killed them, all of this unknown to the Danish police, but finally a literal message in a bottle is handed over to the trio of investigators in DQ (focused on unsolved cases) and in a matter of moments they put together some key clues and they're on the chase. To me a thriller such as this means nothing of the perp is a complete homicidal sadist as it's so far beyond the bounds of most cases and has no shadings or ambiguity - unlike say the series Mindhunter or The Fall, which are full of nuance and intelligent investigation, not unadulturated evil and cases alling into place through chance and coincidence and noncridble inferences. The one strength of this film - and I admit that I did not see the first two films in this trilogy, and they may well have been better and the team just ran out of gas by film #3 - is the relationship between the two male detectives, Morck (pron Merk), a laconic, socially awkward, skeptical savant, and Assad, a Syria-born Dane who maintains his Muslim faith, to the consternation of many inside and outside the force. The third member of the team, the woman (Rakel, had to look it up) has little role in this movie except to find amazingly complex info from the Internet via a few keystrokes. Would that it were so.
