Approx length: Three seasons, eight episodes per season
Where to find it: Acorn TV on amazon prime
What is it, in summary?: Two detectives who are best friends solve murders in a small seaside city in Denmark. One of them has been married for a long time and has a grown-up daughter. His marriage falls apart and his ex ends up in a relationship with his detective partner/best friend.
What do you love about it?: The characters have known each other for so long and their lives are all intertwined, which makes it even more difficult when Dan's marriage falls apart. I also love the sense of place, the scenery, the seaside community setting. The bad guys are varied between being good people in bad situations and bad people doing bad things.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Messy love triangle. Friendship.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: You could probably get the gist of it by watching only one season, but the episodes build upon each other so you really need to watch an entire season in order.
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Some murder and violence and drugs but I find it to be less confronting than many detective shows.
This show is so good! I hope you all watch it and fall in love with Flemming!
