An all-star cast puts 'Thin Ice' on solid ground

Climate crisis, billions in oil profits, a conspiracy that’ll stop at nothing and killer polar bears:
Thin Ice has it all. It’s Nordic Noir crossed with a high-stakes Hollywood thriller with an all-star cast and some truly stunning (and chilly) locations.
As both a global game of political brinkmanship and a gripping small-town mystery where a hard-edged female protagonist and a burnt-out middle-aged cop face off against a sinister threat, it’s consistently gripping viewing. Did we mention the polar bears?
Elsa Engström (Lena Endre) is a woman with a vision. A former climate researcher and environmental activist who is now Sweden’s foreign minister, she arrives in Greenland to head a summit held at the small village of Tasiilaq where she hopes the ministers in the Arctic Council will sign an agreement banning environmentally harmful oil drilling in the region once and for all.

This Dutch series is based on events that took place in the 1990s where the titular Stanley is Stanley Hillis, one of the country’s most infamous criminals. Over three decades, Stanley evolved from ‘gentleman’ bank robber to ruthless kingpin. In the early ’90s, thousands of kilograms of drugs (as well as weapons and explosives) were allowed to enter the country in an effort to catch the leader of the Dutch drug empire.
The four-part
Stanley presents the cat-and-mouse game between the Justice Department and the criminal underworld, introducing us to remarkable characters on both sides. With Stanley’s group marred by mistrust, money problems and betrayal, heads surely roll. A fascinating look at this recent criminal history, Jeroen Spitzenberger stars in the lead role.

'Possessions' is a psychological thriller that will grab you

It seems like the most open and shut of cases. In the middle of a lavish wedding reception in Be’er Sheba in Israel’s Negev desert, the French bride and Israeli groom are all set to cut the cake. Suddenly the lights go out, the power cut. When they come back on, there stands the bride in front of everyone – splattered in blood, the cake knife in her hand, her husband dying at her feet.
With hundreds of witnesses, it should be case closed. But Natalie (Nadia Tereszkiewicz) says she didn’t murder her husband Eran (Imri Biton). In fact, she doesn’t remember anything about the evening at all. The police consider this convenient at best; Karim (Reda Kateb), who’s been assigned to represent her by the French Consulate, thinks there’s more going on. But is he inspired by a quest for justice, or an ever-deepening obsession with Natalie?
