Based on real events, ‘Suspicion’ has one of the most chilling performances in recent years. This drama tells the life of Hana Kučerová, a cold and distant nurse, without social skills, who tends to treat all her patients badly. When one of them dies under suspicious circumstances, it is clear to the media, the police and her colleagues that she is to blame. A brilliant miniseries that does not try to blame, but to identify the difference between the truth and mere appearance.
In the series ‘Ida takes charge’, the Ida of the title moves to Oslo to study psychology. Her greatest fear is suffering a terrorist attack at her own university, like the ones on the news. Everything turns on when she meets Aksel, a lone wolf labeled incel (celibate).
