Copenhagen Cowboy is a thrill-inducing, supernatural revenge odyssey, neon-drenched noir series filmed in Denmark coming to Netflix on December 8, 2022 (I could use more confirmation on this date) set across six episodes all being released at the same time. It follows enigmatic young 18 year old (super) heroine, Miu, who after being sold into servitude at the age of seven. Miu's superpowers can cure migraines, or allow post-menopausal women to have babies, but these gifts are not her own, they are controlled by members of the Copenhagen's Criminal Underworld.

Miu is exploited until she realizes that she is the one with the real power. Miu's journey is a new beginning, as she traverses the ominous landscape of Copenhagen’s criminal netherworld on her quest for revenge. Miu meets many people like herself, who are used up and disposed of by people who are literal pigs. Nicklas is just one of the many villains met along the way, a serial killer torn into two halves trying to appease both of his dysfunctional parents.

Miu takes revenge with slow motion kung-fu fights as if in a cartoon or video game in a hyper-color, -visual and -auditory world. Searching for justice and enacting vengeance, Miu encounters her nemesis, Rakel, as they embark on an odyssey through the natural and the supernatural. The past ultimately transforms and defines their future, as the two women discover they are not alone, they are many.
