The Chestnut Man

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.

If you enjoy a good crime mystery thriller this series does the trick. Top shelf -.....top ...shelf.

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.

If you are into crime and thriller series then this is a great roller-coaster ride. Loved the acting, story and the landscape of Denmark just makes this thing a bliss to the eyes. Just watch it in the original language.

A captivating storyline and two deeply disturbed cops made for one interesting detective show. The premise and reveal worked well together. The acting was decent and the characters had depth. That chestnut song was perfectly creepy.
