Nordic noir - recommendations
I'm a big fan Nordic Noir. Here in the UK we get to watch a lot on demand from Channel 4. I'm just about to finish Norskov, which has been good if slow to get moving (tends to be a feature of the genre). So far my favourites have been:
Hits:
Trapped (Iceland)
The Bridge (Sweden / Denmark)
Follow the Money (Denmark)
Blue Eyes (Sweden)
Black Widow (OK, it's Dutch so not Scandi but similar style)
Pretty good:
The Killing
Borgen (Missed some episodes and never quite caught up)
Misses:
Modus (good start but far too many convenient coincidences)
Black Lake (silly)
The fad for Nordic Noir seems to be waning a bit but I still love em. Any other recommendations?
I'm also a lover of Scandi TV. Have you seen Occupied? Season 1 is on Netflix UK, waiting to watch Season 2 (not really Nordic Noir, but a great show).
I loved Black Widow's. Is the second season available in the UK (I'm new here!).
Oh and another Norwegian show called Acquitted. This is tricky to find - but it's into the second season now and has stunning scenery.
Also did you see Lilyhammer? Not Nordic noir, a bit like a Norwegian version of Fargo.
I take that back. I just found Acquitted on Channel 4 - both seasons!
No I haven't seen any of those. I'll check them out. Thanks. Mammon series 2 was pretty good - did you see that? I found series 1 a bit confusing but they got it together next time around.

STOPIts worth taking a look at other dramas from the region. Rita and The Legacy (Arvingerne} are good choices for straight drama, but Real Humans {Äkta människor} is fantastic if sci-fi is your jam ~ the UK Channel 4 remake doesn't even come close to doing it justice.
