When an inspector is murdered in hospital, the investigation led by Detective Martin Beck uncovers reports of misconduct and possibly revenge.

VIBE

A grim, grounded procedural that feels uncomfortably real. It’s a slow-burn descent into the dark underbelly of policing, punctuated by moments of stark, brutal violence. The atmosphere is heavy with cynicism and a pervasive sense of dread.
