🕵️♀️ Since its premiere in February 2025, the series based on author Viveca Sten’s crime novels has topped the viewing charts for non-English series on Netflix across several countries.
🔎 Main protagonist? Police officer Hanna Ahlander, who, after being both suspended from her job in Stockholm and abandoned by her partner, seeks refuge in her sister's holiday home in Åre, northwest Sweden.
When a young woman vanishes on a freezing night, Hanna can't help but get involved in the investigation. With a difficult family situation and an understaffed police force, local officer Daniel Lindskog reluctantly accepts Hanna's help.
❗ ️ Fun fact: The series has sparked a discussion on social media about the fact that entry doors in Sweden open outwards. This is due to Swedish building standards designed to facilitate emergency evacuation.
Have you watched the show yet? Or do you have another favourite Swedish crime series that is binge-worthy?
