I love a good euro-drama but they are all becoming much of a muchness. This looks like a bit of a carbon copy of The Killing.
@DemandingFemale I've been too obsessed with American crime shows, lol ;) Not seen many Euro crime dramas so am looking to broaden my horizons :)
@////////////// The three I would suggest looking at are... <br> <br> The Killing (Forbrydelsen) - Has an American remake. Original is great. The American one isn't bad either and has a great cast - especially Season 1. <br> <br> The Bridge - again, has an American remake. Written by the same guy that wrote the ITV series Marcella <br> <br> Cordon is another one to have a look at if you like virus-outbreak kinda things. It also has an American remake called Containment but, it isn't as good. <br> <br>
@DemandingFemale Agreed, I LOVED The Bridge and much prefer the originals. There is also a British version (The Tunnel, set in the Channel Tunnel and I stuck it for 2 eps!) Not seen Cordon, can't see it on here though, do you know if we have it?
@⭐️janerosity⭐️ The Tunnel was awful, I couldn't get through 1 lol. <br> <br> I just had a look for Cordon but can't see it here. Containment is here but I would suggest giving that one a miss.
@////////////// You have lots to look forward to and catching up to do with "euro crime dramas" as there are SO many of them and majority are great - even better than American - which are usually inspired by a foreign show.

@////////////// Me too as it's rare to come across a gem these day. Wish they would add a "recommend" option for tv shows for this very reason of sharing with others what they would not normally know about.

Just gave this series the ole college try(2 episodes) and I gotta say it is seriously lacking in substance. Plot drags and characters are just plain and boring. Not sure what it is about Finland, but they seem to never be able to get Crime Series right...unlike their other Nordic neighbors...Anyways, Had to pass on this one. 4/10
@TX2Guns I've yet to watch it as I will probably view it this weekend but I trust your opinion since we seem to like a lot of the same "Foreign Crime Shows" but I will still cross my fingers that it's as good as the trailer looks ;) <br> <br> We need a Forum Thread dedicated to "Foreign Films" and hopefully this site will add more to the listings. <br> <br> Thank you TX2 ;)

I am halfway through watching the first season of Deadwind and absolutely love it. Another great foreign crime show that's well done on all levels from great actors, directors, writers and filming. I was expecting to like this and then lost hope after a few bad reviews but glad I kept with it as it's very well produced and is already returning for a second season in 2019. You just have to watch it yourself and decide as it's definitely not for everyone. To all fans of such genre - I recommend it as a must watch!
I tried to request it to be added to this site, so far it has not. If you need links , just ask.

When Sofia Karppi, a detective in her 30's who is trying to get over her husband's death, discovers the body of a young woman on a construction site, she triggers a chain of events that threatens to destroy her life again. Deadwind is a highly thrilling series from Finland mixing crime investigation and personal drama. aka Karppi
@3UN01A Looks good
@sunshinedaydreams Only a few more days then we get to watch it. I think too, it looks very good.
@3UN01A Deadwind (Karppi) has been renewed for a Second Season in 2019! :)
