Jens Albinus (Borgen, The Boss of It All) leads an ensemble cast in this classic Danish thriller from the creators of Unit One. Nicknamed “The Eagle” for his unerring intuition, detective Hallgrim Hallgrimsson exudes competence and self-assurance, but beneath the façade is a tormented personality.

Pulled off a plane as he’s going to visit his dying mother in Iceland, Hallgrimsson learns that he’s been selected to lead a team of Danish investigators gathered to stem the explosion of European cross-border organized crime. He’s been handpicked by the newly appointed head of the special unit, Thea Nellemann (Ghita Nørby, The Half Brother), who also recruits the brilliant lawyer Marie Wied (played by Marina Bouras, Jens Albinus’ real-life partner).

Also joining the team are Nazim (Janus Nabil Bakrawi, The Killing), a police officer of Palestinian heritage and the Eagle’s closest confidant; Villy Frandsen (Steen Stig Lommer, The New Nurses), Denmark’s leading authority on white-collar crime; IT whiz Michael Kristensen (David Owe, Seaside Hotel) and Ditte Hansen (Susan Olsen, Follow the Money), ace forensic detective.

Together, they take on the infiltration of organized crime into the state institutions, banks and social strata of Europe and Scandinavia. Guest stars in the second season include Søren Malling (Borgen, The Killing), Shanti Roney (Arne Dahl, Beck), Sonja Richter (The Bridge, Follow the Money), David Dencik (Prisoner, No Time to Die), Melinda Kinnaman (The Bridge, My Life as a Dog) and Norway’s own Bjørn Floberg (Varg Veum, Kingsman: The Secret Service).
