The intricate plot in Arctic Circle has several interconnected strands, and the ways in which they relate to each other aren’t immediately obvious, which adds to the sense of mystery that is pervasive through the ten-part series.Īnd while I am not a scientist (nor do I play one on TV), I’m guessing that the backstory of the fictional virus in this thriller is within the realm of possibility, so even the thought of it being made real is beyond frightening. Meanwhile, a Russian criminal is searching for someone who is also wanted by the Finnish authorities, and a wealthy, mysterious businessman is involved in plan for which he wants Thomas’s help… To determine the degree to which the virus has spread in Lapland, if not beyond, Thomas is seconded to Stenius’s team and heads to Ivalo, where he and Nina team up on the case that has become part cross-border human and sex trafficking crimes, and part health crisis/outbreak containment. One close-up glance at what’s under the microscope tells him all he needs to know: the woman is infected by and dying from a deadly virus. In Helsinki, Thomas Lorenz (Maximilian Brückner, Hindafing, Reformation), a German virologist working for the European Centre of Disease Control, is given a blood sample of the first victim found by Nina. Her hunch proves correct and results in the case being turned over to Jaakko Stenius (Kari Ketonen, Look of a Killer) of the KRP, Finland’s National Bureau of Investigations. Nina believes the woman, a Russian prostitute, is just one of several victims of the same perpetrator, and begins a search for the others.
