The series "Midnight Sun" impresses with a brilliant acting, twisted plot and stunningly beautiful scenery. The show was filmed by a team from Sweden and France, so the development of history is very different from the usual Hollywood or Turkish paintings. After the brutal murder of a Frenchman, a murder investigator leaves for Paris from Kiruna, a small Swedish town, where, together with local police officers, he begins an investigation of this crime. It soon takes on a staggering scale. Delighted reviews of the series "Midnight Sun" confirm: it is definitely worth watching.
Location
The film takes place in the small mining town of Kiruna, located in Sweden. This settlement is located near the Arctic Circle, so in the summer the sun does not fall below the horizon, even at night. According to local legends, at this time everyone becomes a little crazy, so it will not be easy to unravel the crime. Reviews of the series "Midnight Sun" talk about the incredibly beautiful and majestic mountain landscapes that serve as the backdrop for this bloody story.
Plot
This picture is not for the faint of heart. Spectator reviews of the series "Midnight Sun" are full of bright epithets: unusually cruel, bloody, honest. The start of the first episode sets the tone for the show. In just a few minutes, a murder takes place, the abduction of children and set fire to the mine, which entailed terrible consequences. In Kiruna, there is a young investigator named Kahina Zadi, an exquisite Parisian beauty, and the modest local police officer Anders Harskez is her company in the investigation of crimes. Soon, young people realize that the causes of the tragedies lie much deeper than anticipated. Particularly tough begins the 5th series of the series "Midnight Sun" - the audience is full of indignation and sadness.
A historical line is drawn through the main plot, which tells about the Sami - representatives of the ancient indigenous people who inhabit Kiruna. The series clearly shows their culture and life, briefly but succinctly sets out the history of their development and struggle for their land. The observer is fascinated not only by the investigation of complicated crimes, but also by the educational component. Reviews of the series "Midnight Sun" from Russian viewers are also favorable: the unusual world of the Sami is completely fascinating.

TV Review
This series is intended for fans of violent thrillers. Every few minutes, another crime occurs, the main characters themselves become victims, and it seems that this series of tragedies will have no end. Reviews of the series "Midnight Sun" in Sweden were controversial. An exciting, twisted, unpredictable plot does not allow viewers to tear themselves away from the screens, but excessively violent and realistic scenes can repel. However, to find out how the story ended and who stood behind all the terrible events, you can only watch the picture to the end, so you should be patient.
This series is sharply different from other similar paintings: the amount of cruelty is off the scale, and the appearance of the characters is very unusual. Beautiful landscapes and tall blond Scandinavian actors smooth out some sharp corners, and the social component makes you think. In the end, all the clues will be found, the criminals will get what they deserve, and the ancient Sami people will continue to live on their land.
