Synopsis
The Investigation (Efterforskningen, 2020) is a Danish crime series you can watch online on iFILM. Copenhagen, August 2017: a journalist sails out on a homemade submarine for an interview and never comes back.
Creator Tobias Lindholm makes one radical choice — the killer never appears on screen, the victim is never shown, and not a single act of violence is dramatized. What's left is the work itself: homicide chief Jens Møller (Søren Malling) and his team assembling a case with no full body, no witnesses, no confession. Divers drag the bay. A prosecutor weighs whether the evidence will hold up in court. The father of murdered reporter Kim Wall waits for any kind of answer.
Lindholm, who wrote The Hunt and directed A War, builds an anti-thriller — no chase, just patience, paperwork, and grief. Pilou Asbæk and Pernilla August deepen an already formidable Danish ensemble. For anyone tired of shows that fall in love with their killers, this restraint feels like honesty. Stream every episode of The Investigation online on iFILM.
