Police inspector Iris had worked at the NOA in Stockholm for over 20 years when her husband Christian was shot dead. Reeling from the tragedy and furious that the case remains unsolved, she leaves Stockholm and becomes the new head of the Cold Case team in Malmö. When a skull is found in the forest and linked to a cold case, Iris is called in to investigate. But with the discovery, ominous questions as to the identity of the killer are raised – what is the truth, and how far will Iris go to find it? From the makers of The Bridge and starring Sofia Helin.
In the Name of Love
Thursday, 4 April
All eight episodes available, in Norwegian with English subtitles.
Balder and his wife welcome their entire family to their daughter’s baptism… well, almost the entire family. Balder’s father shows up uninvited and the family’s slightly questionable past is brought to light. This takes the family back to the 70s, when his father Lars starts his porn empire to acquire wealth in order for his wife and children to live a happy and joyous life, unbeknownst to any outside his immediate family. Based on the real and untold story of BÃ¥rd Breien, the director’s own life.

Is Fallen Danish or Swedish as it is set in Sweden.
Danish.
Looks to me like Sanningen (Truth) is Swedish and aired on TV4. It’s shot around Malmo and Ystad, where Wallander was filmed and it’s produced by Filmlance the Swedish production company who did The Bridge. The cast and show runner are also Swedish. There’s also foreign investment, from Poland , German “Iris” and Banijay is doing global English distribution as “Fallen”. If you translate the Swedish synposis it starts out as a standard cold case with a damaged officer and then veers into the supernatural.
