The series was unusual in that it featured a strong female police detective named Sarah Lund.
The character of Sarah Lund resists objectification of women, by not being depicted in a sexual way for the male gaze (laura mulvey) in that she does not wear short skirts or tight revealing clothing.
Sarah Lund even became famous for wearing the big wooly jumper
Sarah Lund also resists objectification through the encoding of her active narrative role in the story with a realistic and believable performance etc.
