Netflix’s Swedish crime drama, The Breakthrough, is inspired by the real-life account of the 2004 Linköping double homicide case, one of the most infamous cases in the country’s history, that remained unsolved for over one and a half decades. The victims, eight-year-old Mohammad Amouri and fifty-six-year-old Anna-Lena Svensson, were stabbed to death in broad daylight, and the identity of the killer remained a mystery until 2020, when ancestry tracing through DNA mapping techniques was utilized to track down the perpetrator. While the technological advancement of genetic identification, which helped the investigators to solve the case, is unique and promising, the miniseries mainly focuses on the human aspect of the investigation by taking the lives of involved persons into account. A greater emphasis is put on the terrible nature of the crime, which affected not only the families of the victims but also the ones who became embroiled in the investigation...
