When Wallander ended I was lost until I found The Eagle. Now I keep postponing its last episode because withdrawal will be tough. I have a few Protectors episodes left but have exhausted all the Scandinavian shows on Netflix…what next, pray tell?

I also love the shows on european tv: I have watched the killing; the bridge; Unit 1 or Rejseholdet. I also watched Borgen and part of The eagle-I did not like the latter two series because of the political/spy type subject matter though. I would like to know if there are additional scandinavian crime dramas airing soon

Unfortunately I have been a scandinavian tv junkie for many years. I have seen all of the above apart from Those who kill. I’m getting quite desperate. Can’t watch the English versions, its not the same. I live in Australia and we get some of the scandi shows but not enough. I really loved The Eagle and The Killing 1 & 2.

Bravo on detective Sarah Lund and her sweaters and rainboots! Like others above, I would also recommend The Bridge. Watching its first episode, I thought the premise of the female character was a bit hokey, but then the show really grew on me and I loved it.

Some of these are available on MHZ networks. We used to get it on KCSM (College of San Mateo station) when we lived near San Francisco and our cable company carried it; friends got it without cable if they lived in line with the station. We can’t get it on TV now that we live in Santa Cruz, so we stream it from our laptop from MHZ (watch live) in D.C. Less convenient watching hours, but worth it for good shows.

Hello, a few months ago I watched nearly all of the Wallander, Krister Henriksson, episodes and now am not able to locate them. Do you have any suggestions. Thank you for your insightful input.

Regards,
Corinne

Sandy and Gene,

if you are looking for something good to watch, I can’t recommend Broadchurch enough. And it looks it will air in the US as well

Have watched all the Brit police shows Netflix has had available, the Eagle, the Protectors, Spiral, Annika….sold totally on the European tv scene. American tv banal and glitzy, no substance. Please keep in production…starved for well done theater.

Sigh. I have watched all the series mentioned. What I could not find on NFlx I found on You Tube.

You Tube is a real resource for most of these series. Check it out. You will be glad you did!
