Into the Mad Mind of Madness

Episode 3 of 4

A clue leads the detective to a troll factory where his brooding starts with a vengeance. Stars Matthew Holness. From 2018.

Matthew Holness stars as Knut 脜ngstr枚m, a brooding, alcoholic, maverick Swedish detective from the tough streets of Oslo.

Scandinavian detective yarn adapted from the bestselling 脜ngstr枚m trilogy by Martin English (writing as Bjorgen Swedenssonsson).

Following the death of his wife, 脜ngstr枚m is posted to the Njalsland peninsula where he becomes embroiled in a labyrinthine murder (or possibly not-murder) case which bears an eerie similarity to the Askeladden killings - a case from his distant past.

A clue left by the killer now leads 脜ngstr枚m and Mina to the Schmilsson novelty troll factory, where 脜ngstr枚m's brooding threatens to get out of control.

Written by Joel Morris and Jason Hazeley.
