This European crime drama opens with three very similar murders in three different countries; one in Belgium, one in Denmark and one in Germany. Each of the murder victims had a severed finger and was shot through the eye
hardly a coincidence. When the similarities are noted the leaders of each country's investigations come together to pool their evidence and track down those responsible. These three investigators are Harold Bjørn, from Denmark, Jackie Müller from Germany and Alicia Verbeek from Belgium.
As the investigation progresses they find links to human trafficking and prostitution as well as a degree of corruption. Things soon point to a Lithuanian billionaire; he may not have killed these girls but he is up to his neck in some very unpleasant crimes and will do just about anything to stay ahead of the law. There are quite a few more deaths before the crime is solved and our protagonists find themselves in real danger at times.
I rather enjoyed this multilingual drama it helped that the version shown here in the UK hadn't been dubbed; so each of the characters spoke their own language with English subtitles when talking to people from their country and in English when talking to other people; something I find keeps it more real as all the words we hear are spoken by the actors. The story may have been a bit far-fetched but that didn't bother me as it kept me gripped. There were some fairly grizzly moments as well as some shocks most notably when a protagonist was shot and apparently seriously wounded. On the down side there was perhaps a little bit too much personal drama for the protagonists. I thought the cast did a solid job; especially those in the major roles. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of Euro-drama.
