The TVI Take
Netflix's adaptation of Jussi Adler-Olsen's Scandinavian crime novels follows Copenhagen's cold case unit with strong procedural craft and genuine psychological depth. The central partnership between the two detectives is richly drawn and the cases carry genuine moral weight.
Six weeks in Netflix's global Top 10 is thoroughly earned.
