Finnish noir procedural with a grieving detective as compelling center. Pacing demands patience — rewards it unevenly. The Helsinki atmosphere is authentic. More interested in character damage than genre mechanics.

After the tragic death of her husband, detective Sofia Karppi moves back to Finland, only to be confronted with a mysterious case shortly after her return - a woman is found buried in a new development - wrapped in plastic and with flowers on her chest . Together with her colleague Sakarai Nurmi, she uncovers many mysterious factors during the investigation - how big is the conspiracy behind the murder of Anna Bergdahl? Right at the beginning of the series, one thing struck me as particularly negative and that was the main character. In my opinion, Sofia Karppi is extremely unsympathetic and selfish. It complicates the investigation far more than it advances it. Unfortunately, there is also the fact that the characters in this series all seem to have strong mood swings and can completely change their emotional state and opinion from one scene to the next. Unfortunately, many of the characters also seem very fake due to the superficial acting. Also, the series is riddled with bad visual effects - be it a scene that was clearly shot against a green screen but the exposure wasn't adjusted, or really ridiculously badly edited photos. If you overlook all this and don't look at the series analytically, but just let it sink in, it's all right. It creates an averagely exciting atmosphere throughout and binds the viewer with unexpected twists.
