Crime drama fans are being urged to watch an enthralling series available for free streaming across all three seasons. Channel 4 is showcasing the Nordic noir thriller that debuted in Finland in 2016. The show, titled Bordertown, features Detective Inspector Kari Sorjonen, an autistic investigator at the National Bureau of Investigation, drawing comparisons to Sherlock Holmes.
Sorjonen transitions to lead the Serious Crime Unit in South Karelia, expecting a tranquil role but encountering unexpected challenges, as reported by the Express. Viewers have praised the series on IMDb, with one reviewer noting the captivating storyline and character development. Another viewer recommended changing the audio to Finnish with English subtitles for a better viewing experience due to poor dubbing.
The plot centers on Sorjonen, a unique detective who relies on his ‘memory palace’ to solve gruesome crimes while balancing family life. Despite seeking a peaceful existence near his family, including his ailing wife, the reality in the border town between Finland and Russia proves otherwise. Bordertown has earned acclaim, boasting an impressive 87% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences can now stream Bordertown on Channel 4.
