"This certainly isn’t the first review to liken Marshland to True Detective but the comparison between this Spanish thriller and IMHO the best television drama of 2014 is damn hard to avoid. Elements of what makes True Detective so good are wonderfully here too. Two detectives who don’t particularly get on but complement each other investigate a string of murders in an eerie, swampy landscape. There are long drives along picturesque waterways and a sense of ominous beauty masterfully crafted by the filmmakers in both."
