Table of Contents

One of Netflix’s more interesting recent original series, The Breakthrough, is a four-part miniseries based on journalist Anna Boden and genealogist Peter Sjölund’s book examining the second-largest criminal investigation in Swedish history. The show has already cracked Netflix’s Top 10 list and has earned a strong 77% score on Rotten Tomatoes’ Popmeter, the metric for audience reception.

If you’re a crime drama fan, or just want a good show you can binge-watch in one night, here’s why you should watch The Breakthrough on Netflix.
