When teenager Silas is found dead at a farmhouse on the Bjäre peninsula – the perpetually angry, odd but highly intelligent investigator Dani (Krista Kosonen) is teamed up with newly graduated police colleague Malik (Mohammed Nour Oklah) to investigate the case. The investigation leads Dani and Malik into a patriarchal rat-hole on the Scanian countryside and they soon find themselves at the center of a dark family feud that has been going on for generations. Dani, who has a personal connection to the victim Silas, is drawn deep into the investigation and the families it centers around. The Patriarch Elis (Peter Gantman) gives Dani a deadline to solve the case before taking matters into his own hands within the family. Synden is a modern crime set in an uncertain world of conflict and violence where the original sin is constantly present.

Trouble is, if you’re already a fan of Nordic noir, this particular story has very few new tricks up its ärm. Go to Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com Jan 18

A short episode count combined with brief runtimes creates a fast-paced storytelling cadence that doesn’t outstay its welcome. Peter Gantman is a standout in this, providing surprising subtlety and depth for his character. Go to Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Jan 5

Patrick S @patseitz Feb 1 Boring and depressing. Gave up after one episode. I usually like Nordic noir shows but this one turned me off. See more Joakim U @Sweden123 Jan 20 read this was going to be amazing. It really wasn't. it was OK See more Lynn R Jan 18 I was not impressed. And I love the Nordic mysteries. This one fell flat for me. Very slow. Very dull and grey. The plot was not that original. The main character did nothing for me. And not that I’m giving anything away, but in the last episode, they leave u guessing on what the heck happened to the farmers wife’s!!!! I mean come on. I’m glad it was only 6 episodes. See more Ess A @ESSARR Jan 12 This is an astonishingly well-made piece of propaganda. The Swedes are portrayed as violent drug-addled, and alcoholic. They are terrible parents, including the Swedish cop heroine The Minority Policeman is all that is sober, kind, a loving parent and a super-cop, who gently guides the ethnic Swedes. Bravo! See more Aurelie K Jan 9 Depressing… Always the same Netflix drug related story played by actors you forget right away. See more Joshua m @Flameon Jan 9 The Scandinavians like their detectives to have personality disorders. Pay attention because it is easy to forget who is who. See more Read all reviews
