The Åre Murders - Netflix Series


The Åre Murders | Official Trailer | Netflix
Netflix Nordic

Small town murder mystery that takes place in Åre, Sweden, a ski resort right in the middle of the country about 30 miles from the border with Norway. This is a short series, only five episodes, with two distinct stories. We've got the usual mix of Netflix characters including a woman detective, a woman coroner, a woman police chief, a brown cop, a gay cop and a brown suspect. 

The first story (3 episodes) begins when a ski lift is turned on in the morning and a frozen body is found on one of the chairs. The villain turns out to be exploiting immigrant labor in his home cleaning business. 

The second series starts with the discovery of a dismembered body on the frozen river right next to the railroad bridge. Evidently the man was run over by a train. Our main suspect is an fundamentalist Christian preacher. Turns out that although he is a bad man, he isn't the culprit. It was a kid in the garage with a shovel.

So, just another "murder of the week" show. Big No on watching that. That was how they botched the remake of "Dragnet". It came back as just another boring "Murder of the week".

Thanks for the review. This looked like it might have been interesting, but given the default character array, no thank you.

Sounds like euro-Fargo...
