Below the Surface (Seasons 1–2)

Below the Surface (Gidseltagningen, 2017) is a Danish hostage drama you can watch online on iFILM. On an ordinary October morning, fifteen people are pulled off a Copenhagen metro train and forced underground at gunpoint. The city above scrambles; the hostages below start to crack.

Directors Christian E. Christiansen and Kasper Barfoed keep the tension slow-burning — this is less about the police operation and more about what happens to ordinary people locked in a tunnel with a stranger. Paprika Steen leads a tight, claustrophobic ensemble that earned the series a strong following across Scandinavia. Stream all episodes of Below the Surface (2017) on iFILM.
