The Investigation
2020miniseriesWhy watch
Created and directed by Tobias Lindholm, this gripping Danish procedural stands out for completely stripping away sensationalism. Rather than giving screen time or notoriety to the perpetrator, it centers entirely on the meticulous, exhausting forensic work of Copenhagen's homicide detectives and the quiet dignity of the victim's grieving family.
Where to watch
Available to stream in the Netherlands on HBO Max, NPO Start / NLZIET, and Canal+.
What to expect
A solemn, grounded, and slow-burning procedural. The tone is deeply respectful and realistic, avoiding graphic violence or melodrama while dealing with themes of homicide, loss, and the painstaking technical realities of a marine criminal investigation.
