I was thrilled to watch this series since the trailer was out and it didnt disappoint. From first scene till the last I had chills down my spine. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and once again show you that scandinavians never make mistakes.

Dark atmosphere and strong images. The typical elements of the Northern European crime thriller from Scandinavia are included: cruel case, opposing investigative duo, social criticism and, above all, gloomy (autumnal) mood. The series doesn't create high tension, but so much tension that one would like to know how it all ends. Well worth seeing and one of the better crime novels. Dark crime thriller from northern Europe.

Excellent series with great plot and cast. As good as The Bridge and The Killing imo.

That says it all.

The Chestnut Man: Nordic Noir serial killer series. A year ago the daughter of a Danish Cabinet Minister disappeared and is believed to have been killed. Two maverick detectives see possible links to this case and gruesome killings which have just occurred. The police brass are reluctant to accept this. All of the killings might be linked back to a case of mass killings decades ago (this is referenced in the prologue). Tension is maintained throughout with a good sprinkling of red herrings. Some disturbing scenes. Directed and Co-Written by Mikkel Serup. On Netflix. 8/10.

It has everything one expects a crime thriller show to have. The acting is great which is why I'll recommend to watch it in original language. Overall it is a good paced TV series and I'm glad that they wrapped it up in just 6 episodes. It is worth the watch for crime/ thriller genre lovers.
