The Fourth Man

2014–2015 · 1 season

A tense, slow-burning procedural that probes the haunting aftermath of a political attack with chilly Nordic restraint.

Overview: The year is 1975, and the West German embassy in Stockholm is occupied by German terrorists. It's an attack not only on the embassy, but on Sweden's long-standing pride as a peaceful nation. In the aftermath of the violent occupation, the Swedish Security Police suspects the six terrorists had help from the outside, possibly from a group of Swedish sympathizers. But no leads can be found until fourteen years later.
How it feels: Tense, melancholic, dark and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Conspiracy, politics, guilt, justice
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
