The Blackout: Tomorrow Is Too Late
All six episodes available to stream. In German with English subtitles.
As a sudden blackout plunges Europe into darkness, the past catches up with a former hacker in this ambitious new international thriller. On a cold November night, a fatal chain reaction in the European power grid plunges the continent into darkness. While authorities fight to control the impact, former hacker Pierre Manzano (Moritz Bleibtreu) realises that a malicious code he wrote nearly 20 years ago during the 2001 G8 riots is to blame. As he tries to warn the power companies that they are under attack, he attracts the attention of Europol and CID, who make him a subject of their investigation. In Germany, Frauke Michelsen (Marie Leuenberger) suddenly finds herself heading the country’s crisis response team, battling with failed communication systems, the threat of food shortages and the collapse of the health system. But when her eight-year-old twin daughters go missing, she is torn between managing the spiralling incidents and her own personal challenges. With every connection severed a race against time begins, but as disaster looms, a beacon of hope remains – if people can come together and help one
another, maybe the worst can be overcome.

Mister8
All eight episodes available to stream. In Finnish with English subtitles.
Life is good for Maria (Krista Kosonen – Beforeigners). She’s the CEO of a family business, and there is more than enough love in her life. It’s no wonder because Maria has seven spouses, a different man for every weekday. Maria falls in love with Juho (Pekka Strang), who has just moved into the town. But sadly, there are not eight days a week.

Traitor
All six episodes available to stream. In Estonian with English subtitles.
Alfred Vint (Tambet Tuisk), an official at the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Estonia, becomes an agent for Russian intelligence, prompted by umbrage and personal gain. He betrays everyone – his family, friends, and country during a pivotal time, in 2004, when Estonia is joining NATO. The stylish and thrilling six-part spy drama series is inspired by recent espionage scandals from Estonia’s history. The spy thriller observes the transformation of one ambitious man into a traitor. The traitor, Alfred Vint, is pursued by young, determined counterintelligence investigator Marko Arrak (Veiko Porkanen), who gradually moves closer to exposing the man, but the clever and pedantic Vint manages to escape his trap again and again. Lines of action are framed by issues in the personal lives of characters. Vint is dealing with the consequences of his love for women, and Arrak is becoming a father.
