Nordic Noir: Suggestions

[NJRadioGuy]

Hey all, I'm looking for more Nordic/Scandi-noir fare to binge, and I think I'm running out of titles. So far I've watched:

• The Bridge (all 4 seasons)
• Trapped (2 seasons)
• Bordertown/Sorjonen
• Deadwind
• The Valhalla Murders
• Ragnarok (not really NN, but close enough)
• Lilyhammer (one season - wasn't a fan)
• Broadchurch and Shetland (Not nordic but the same feel)
• Borderliner
• Fallet (I truly hated this one)
• Beat-cop procedural Roba (Please release S3, Amazon!)
• and my favourite nordic show of all time, Beforeigners, a magnificent time-travel Norweigan drama.

Any more that I must add to this list? I'm especially fond of Finnish works.

@NJRadioGuy - Wisting, The Chestnut Man, Black Spot, Capitani, The Forest.  The last three aren’t Nordic but in a similar vein. I just noticed that there is a new Bordertown - Mural Murders (looks like a movie, not a series). I loathed both Fallet and Lilyhammer.

Yes, I saw it was available but haven't had the chance to watch it yet (very busy time of year for me). I will certainly check out the others you mentioned. Seems like there's not as much in this genre coming out as there was a few years ago unfortunately.

Beck... 8 seasons encompassing 25 years. Excellent detective drama. 

The Killing - original version.

I loved 'The Chestnut Man' and am looking for similar series to watch - Nordic.

The only one I've seen is 'The Chestnut Man' which I really loved (for some reason).  What are some similar ones to watch? in the same genre?  I just started watching the Killing which has 4 seasons; not sure what to expect yet.

I am too - after watching 'The Chestnut Man' - I really liked that one...are there any series that are similar?

I’m super late to this, but like the Nordic list. I did watch a few of these and particularly liked Border Town and The Chestnut Man. There’s another one that I really liked but I’ll  have refresh my memory.

I liked Woman Of The Dead on Netflix.  It’s 6 episodes.  The scenery is incredible. It’s about a female coroner.

I’m interested in this one.
