On the watch

I tend to steer clear of any past tragedies that resulted in thousands of deaths especially of most painful nature and thusly any series with names like 'chernobyl' or other such can never ever be on my watching list because goddamit I'll lose sleep, scarce as it is .
However there's nothing in this world that could ever keep me away from a good crime drama especially police detective work in unearthing a mysterious crime and yes you know of a particular pattern that extends from 'Killing' to 'Happy valley' and I'm glad to report of another such discovery called 'deadwind' a Finnish series on Netflix which follows a similar route.
It got suggested to me under the name 'crime dramas with strong female leads' and I thought to myself why not because what am I if not a tourist and pleasantly surprised by how well strung this Netflix series is, not least because I've never seen any Finnish television series least of all crime mysteries and this one like killing follows a slow pace with a very cold and blue Helsinki backdrop.
There's snow, everything is frigid and there's been a murder which follows odd links unearthing which is more convoluted than it had earlier seemed.
Brilliantly done .
