The Machinery (Seasons 1–2)

The Machinery (Maskineriet, 2020) — watch online on iFILM — is a Nordic crime series directed by Richard Holm, a co-production spanning Finland, Norway and Sweden. Olle Hulten comes to on a ferry between Sandefjord and Strömstad with hours of his night unaccounted for and a loaded gun plus unexplained cash in his car.

Simultaneously, police are running down an armed robber holding a security guard at gunpoint. Kristoffer Joner anchors the series in the quiet, coiled way Scandinavian crime drama has made its own, and the show uses its literal between-shores setting to lock down a thriller built on gaps in memory and buried connection. Hanna Alström, Rune Temte and Björn Sundquist round out the ensemble. Stream The Machinery online on iFILM.
