One doesn't need to be a fan of Nordic Noir (I'm not) or even mysteries to enjoy this six-episode series by internationally acclaimed documentary filmmaker Mika Ronkainen of Finland. Set during the light summer in the land of the midnight sun, murders of three middle aged men in the fictional town of Varjakka perplex a close-knit, conservative religious community. Sanna and Lauri, two private investigators with their own personal struggles and and past traumas, are called up from Helsinki to investigate. You won't see much blood or shocking violence or gore, but deeply a evoking and steadily arching plot that will keep you captivated until the surprising climax.
