Blackport
DRAMA-CRIME | ICELAND | ICELANDIC WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | TV-MA
“Who knew a mini-series about fishing quotas in 1980s Iceland could be so entertaining? Blackport follows the true story of the rise and fall of a small town fishing empire. A gripping drama with a healthy mix dark twists and that trademark Icelandic humor, Blackport is a must-watch!”

Walking on Sunshine
COMEDY | AUSTRIA | GERMAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | TV-14
“A blistering, fast-paced Austrian workplace dramedy about a cast of oddball characters behind-the-scenes in a TV weather department. Three seasons (so far) make this a fun and satisfying binge. Also features a character named ‘Otto Czerny-Hohenburg’ so what’s not to love?”
Recommended by: Chris A., Director, Digital Media Production
The Hunters
DRAMA – CRIME | SWEDEN | SWEDISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | TV-14
“In this must-see series for fans of Nordic noir, Rolf Lassgård (A Man Called Ove) stars as Erik Bäckström, a retired Stockholm cop drawn into a mystery in Sweden’s far north. It’s an engaging performance, combining the brilliant, analytical mind of Sebastian Bergman and the wistful brooding of Kurt Wallander. Plus he has a dog named Bella and dogs rule.”

The Doc and the Vet
DRAMA | FRANCE | FRENCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | TV-14
“The Doc and the Vet is cozy, fun and has a mystery to solve in every episode!”
Recommended by: Mallory H., Operations
I Am Scrooge
DRAMA – CRIME | GERMANY | GERMAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | TV-14
“You will find yourself rooting for an extortionist who has a knack for blowing things up. Specifically, expensive department stores but our extortionist is precise enough to ensure that no one gets hurt. The man just wants his money.”
Recommended by: Jess L., Marketing
The Typist
DRAMA | GERMANY | GERMAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | TV-14
“Iris Berben plays her character very well. It’s easy to get entrapped in what she has planned or what she is thinking.”
Recommended by: John R., Operations
The Roots of Evil
DRAMA – CRIME | GERMANY | GERMAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | TV-14
“I liked this murder mystery because it feels like multiple genres in one and there is resolution at the end of the mini-series. Drama, crime, supernatural with Norse mythology and romance. The writing is evenly paced revealing every character’s secrets and vulnerabilities in perfect suspense.”
Recommended by: Liz P., Video Editor
River
DRAMA-CRIME | UNITED KINGDOM | ENGLISH | TV-MA
“Two words: Stellan Skarsgård.”
Recommended by: Jason, Creative Director
Beck
MYSTERY | SWEDEN | SCANDINAVIAN CRIME FICTION | SWEDISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | TV-14
“I see your Skarsgård, Jason, and raise you another: Valter Skarsgård is introduced as Martin Beck’s policeman grandson in Season 8. Another chip off the old block.”
