Nordic Murders

Set against the windswept gray of the Baltic Sea, Nordic Murders delivers a chill that penetrates deeper than the weather. Former prosecutor Karin Lossow operates on the island of Usedom not just as an investigator, but as an ex-convict with a complicated relationship to the law. The series masterfully exploits the German-Polish border, using the misty landscape to obscure crimes that are as personal as they are political. With the dust settling on a consequential finale, the current silence regarding the show's future creates an agonizing suspense for devotees waiting to see if the past will finally catch up to the present. To ensure you catch the first break in the case when the fog lifts, setting a tracker for the next season is your best line of defense.
