Crime Series - Irene Huss

“Detective Inspector Irene Huss” is the new Scandinavian crime series featuring the female Detective Inspector Irene Huss. The series consists of 6 x 90 minutes individual high-end films, all based on the best-selling crime fiction of Helene Tursten.

Irene Huss is a new breed of crime fighter, a woman in her late thirties who is dedicated to her job and her marriage. The series embodies the Scandinavian storytelling tradition, and features stunning visuals of the Swedish coastal city Gothenburg as universal crime themes unfold.

Irene Huss is a former European ju-jutsu champion, a mother of twin teenage girls, and a Detective Inspector with the Violent Crimes Unit – in short, Irene leads a normal life. Her husband, Krister, is a successful chef and, luckily for Irene, he gladly shoulders a fair share of the household tasks.

At the Violent Crimes Unit in the Swedish city of Gothenburg, Irene encounters a wide range of criminal minds – from international serial killers to psychotic young girls. Every new case brings its share of quirks and quandaries to the table, sometimes forcing the entire team to put their lives on the line.
