A Shop for Killers (2024)

An action drama in which a niece who lost her parents and grew up in the hands of an uncle who runs a shopping mall, faces a new truth after her uncle’s sudden death.

My thoughts: A quirky Korean shoot-em-up that hits all the right notes.

4/5

Broen/The Bridge (2011 – 2018) Season 4

It’s almost two years later and Saga and Henrik reunite when a high-ranking government official is brutally murdered near Øresund Bridge.

My thoughts: Although it lost a little something with the departure of Kim Bosnia, the series still remains one of the best crime shows out there – and finishes strong in its fourth and final season.

4/5

The Bequeathed (2024)

A story in which ominous things continue and the secrets of the family are revealed as they suddenly inherit the family mountain from their uncle, whom they had forgotten.

My thoughts: A pretty taught thriller up until its somewhat nonsensical final episode.

3.5/5

Feedback (2023)

An alcohol-addicted former rock musician, Marcin Kania, sets off on a journey into the darkest corners of Warsaw and the human psyche to find his missing son.

My thoughts: Less of a thriller and more of a reflection on the destructive effects alcohol can have on an individual and those around them.  Halfway through, I guessed where we were headed, but that didn’t make it any less devastating when we got there.

4/5

Aranyelet/Golden Life (2015 – 2018) Season 1

A corrupt businessman and family man attempts to navigate his way through increasing domestic, legal, and financial problems.

My thoughts: A terrific exploration of a fractured family on the edge, and the lengths they will go to in order to ensure their survival.

4/5
