Bordertown

Bordertown

Started watching yet another European crime series on Netflix last night. At first I thought it was set on the US-Mexican border, because that's the one that everyone is talking about these days, but no, it's set on the Finnish-Russian border and we have cops from both sides of the border investigating cross-border crimes. The Finnish title (Sorjonen) comes from the star character's name, who is also the star Finnish investigator. It's pretty good. It's subtitled, which I prefer, even for films where the dialog is in English. It makes it easier to catch those just audible phrases that are often key to the plot.
