Nordic Noir [View all]

We're fairly new to Netflix. Recently I watched a detective show from Finland, Deadwind. I really liked it because the female detective is as stubborn as it gets. Many "heart in throat" moments that always drew me in even when they kept using old ploys. I hate to post spoilers so I'll leave it at that.

Then I found Bordertown, also filmed in Finland, which has to be the weirdest series I felt compelled to watch. There are two seasons available and a third is in the works. The Netflix version is dubbed. The English dubbing reminded me of the dubbing in '50s Godzilla movies. But I hung in there. I might watch the first episode of Season One on YouTube since it's not dubbed but with English subtitles. The real voices make all the difference. The stories are strange and sometimes hard to follow. But I couldn't stop from watching a little bit every night until I finished both seasons.
