100 Code (2015)
9/10
Classic Nordic Noir
6 June 2018
Just binge watched the entire series because it IS that addictive.

Dominic Monaghan does a pretty good impersonation of a haunted Irish/New York cop who buddies with Sweden's Michael Nyqvist in a very compelling, if somewhat typical, Nordic serial killer hunt.

I'm a sucker for the genre, I read every thing I can get my hands on and this series is far from disappointing. Surprisingly, to me at least, I have never heard of the author who's novels this series is based on.

The gimmick of pulling a NYPD detective into the mix gives the producers the leeway to have a lot of the dialogue in English making the series far more accessible to the linguistically challenged among us viewers.

It has all the tropes we fans of the genre love. Plenty of action, developed character arcs and good old detection.

Highly recommended.
