Now available to watch on Netflix, the show follows the story of a Stockholm detective named Hanna who has been suspended from duty.
Hanna heads to the seemingly quiet ski resort town of Åre, where she starts to uncover a mysterious series of events around the disappearance of a young woman named Amanda.
In the five-part series, Hanna teams up with a local detective named Daniel as they try to get some answers on how the woman vanished.
Despite having just been released, the show is already a massive hit, with millions of people bingeing the entire show in the last few days.
Many viewers have taken to social media to share their own thoughts on it, with one user writing on X, formerly Twitter: “Just finished watching #TheÅreMurders on @Netflix_CA So good!!! Well done!!! Story, filming, cast are all excellent. Loved this series!!!.”
Another said: “The Åre Murders (Åremorden/Swedish) on Netflix was good. I hope there is a second season soon.”
A third person took to Reddit to say: “I enjoyed it. Could have used a couple more episodes per case, but better than to have it drag and feel slow.”
A fourth commented: “It’s good entertainment if you need something to binge. It was a bit short but better than being too long.”
A fifth fan of the show wrote: “I hope it gets another series.”
And a sixth user added: “I like how the ending was not a neat tidy bow. It showed us the two main protagonists as regular flawed people trying their best and making mistakes. Just seemed a bit more like real life.”
The Åre Murders is currently the number one show on Netflix, followed by The Night Agent in second place and The Recruit in the third spot.
Other popular watches on the streaming platform that are currently being featured in Netflix’s ‘top 10’ category include The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, Prison Cell 211, Sintonia, American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson, Cassandra, Sweet Magnolias, and Apple Cider Vinegar.
