About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want Nordic-noir mysteries with a quirky, brilliant investigator and ongoing family drama, similar to Trapped or The Forest; Not for you if you dislike bleak stories, unsettling crimes, or prefer lighter, straightforward cases.

Pros: gripping crime cases; distinctive lead detective; bingeable two-episode arcs | Cons: very dark tone; sometimes convoluted plots; dubbing can distract
