“I really enjoyed this Finnish series,” a third wrote, calling Sorjonen “one of Finland’s best detectives”. “Each story provides a good mystery and the main characters are a lot of fun to watch.”

The show follows “troubled intelligence agent” Felix Hartman, who looks into the life of seemingly ordinary woman Lize Berg, as he’s “tasked with uncovering whether she is, in fact, a dangerous crime lord cloaked in normality”.
“He embeds himself in her everyday routines, watching, listening, waiting until the investigation spirals into a deadly dance between truth and betrayal, where one wrong step could cost them both everything,” the synopsis adds.
Bordertown seasons 1-3 are available to stream now on Channel 4.
