‘Disturbing’ Crime Series Leaves Viewers ‘Hooked’ As They Binge It On Repeat
A ‘disturbing’ crime series has left viewers ‘hooked’ as they binge-watch it in one go.
Drama is one of the most popular TV genres – offering suspense, puzzle-solving, the exploration of human psychology, and a sense of safety in experiencing dark themes within a controlled narrative.
One crime drama in particular is keeping viewers glued to their seats.
Praising it online, one fan writes: “I thoroughly enjoyed this series and it definitely left me wishing there was more to watch! Though disturbing at times.”
“Highly recommend and enjoy watching it again when in the mood for an excellent and intriguing drama,” another adds.
A third person says: “This series appeals to the darker side of my brain, and I love the twists and turns of each season.”
“Apart from some gratuitously gruesome images, this was a brilliantly conceived plot with all strands resolved convincingly. Gripped throughout a binge-watch of all three series,” somebody else shares.
Critics have also praised the crime drama.
Tirdad Derakhshani wrote for the Philadelphia Inquirer: “Complex, ultra dark, and filled with more red herrings than an Agatha Christie novel, it’s a unique, powerful crime drama.”
Emily Baker said for The I Paper: “Confusing, bold and hyperbolic – I’m hooked.”
The series has also scored an impressive rating of 70% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.3/10. on IMDb.
The drama, which takes place in the U.K., is a Nordic noir, also known as Scandinavian noir, which is a genre of fictional crime written from the police’s point of view.
Its official synopsis reads: “Anna Friel stars as a troubled detective, back on the force after raising kids. She grapples with complex murder cases while trying to manage her precarious mental state.”
Written and directed by Swedish screenwriter Hans Rosenfeldt, also known for creating the crime series The Bridge, it stars Anna Friel, Ray Panthaki, Nina Sosanya, Jamie Bamber, Jack Doolan, and Florence Pugh.
Three seasons have been released, yet despite its success, a fourth has not been confirmed.
Lead actress Friel told Hello Magazine at the time of the release of the last season: “It was always intended to be a trilogy, but the end of the third season is left very much open. I guess it depends on how much the viewers here like it.”
Previously, Marcella creator Rosenfeldt suggested to The Sun a potential for a spinoff show.
