Camilla Larsson of Sydsvenskan noted that the series represents a return to Peter GrönlundâÂÂs established thematic territory, and highlighted his ability to depict "crime, class and exclusion" through a "sociopolitical slant." Writing for Svenska Dagbladet, Jan Söderqvist praised the series for its lack of simple answers to complex moral questions regarding parenthood and original sin. In contrast, of Aftonbladet felt the series was not Grönlund's best work, as she found the core crime mystery uneven and some characters overly generic, but added that the "tragic, intense resolution" was "worth waiting for." The technical craft was also a point of praise, with Larsson commending Mattias Rudh's cinematography.
The performances, particularly the combination of professional actors and amateur newcomers, received critical praise. Larsson said the series was "incredibly well-cast", calling Krista KosonenâÂÂs portrayal of the "tough but dishevelled" investigator Dani a "knockout." Söderqvist characterised the interaction between amateur performers with the professionals as seamless. Both Larsson and Fjellborg singled out newcomer Peter Gantman for his performance as the patriarch Elis; Fjellborg described Gantman, a truck driver with no previous acting experience, as "magnetic" and the "real star" of the series.
