Deadwind is a Finnish crime drama that follows Sofia Karppi, a recently widowed detective in the Finnish police. The series often draws comparisons to Nordic Noir classics such as The Bridge and The Killing.
The program is addictive and compelling. After all, no one does brooding crime programs like the Scandinavians.
