Monster

In the dark and remote landscape of northern Norway, a brutal murder reveals a mass grave which links old cases to missing people. Local police officer Hedda is put on the case with special investigator Joel Dreyer, who comes from the metropolitan south. Their different backgrounds, personalities, and methods immediately set them against each other. But when the investigation begins to spiral out of control, both detectives resort to questionable moves in order to stay on the case and protect their secrets.

Directed by Hans Christian Storrøsten, Monster leans on a strong ensemble — Ingvild Holthe Bygdnes, Jakob Oftebro, Bjørn Sundquist — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2017.
