A short, 4-episode series set in Iceland that follows Reykjavik based Detective Helgi. He is investigating an apparent suicide in a small village that turns out to have many connections and much larger implications for some national corruption investigations. His investigation challenges him to face his own history, look at who he is as a father and still work effectively as an investigator. So while the plot and acting reminds me a lot of the Scandinavian police procedurals, the on location sets, the stark (almost haunting) backgrounds and wide Icelandic vistas give this series a remarkable feel that makes the entire experience immersive.
5 stars (out of 5)
