At the same time, these are people living on the fringes of society. “Some things are unforgivable,” says Jenni’s mother. Crime fiction is full of stories that use missing children to manipulate readers and viewers, but this is a programme that will confound you.
Don’t watch it unless you want to be challenged. Snow Angels is difficult, raw and emotional. Salle runs for it when they find his bloody jacket.Īlice and her partner will lead the case. When Salle turns his phone on and they listen to a series of harrowing messages Jenni left him the night before, Jenni’s mother calls the police and a huge search operation is launched. Salle has returned home with blood on his hands and jacket, shaken and scared. It turns out that Salle doesn’t have him either and was out on some shady business the night Lucas went missing. At first Jenni thinks the father, Salle, has taken him out for a walk in the stroller but when Salle doesn’t answer his phone she begins to worry. Jenni is woken from a pill-induced slumber by her daughter, Lucas’s big sister. It’s Christmas Eve and Stockholm is in the grips of a cold snap that has killed three homeless people overnight. Melancholy, saddening, shocking, it’s impossible to ignore because it begins with the disappearance of a five-week-old baby boy called Lucas. This is a crime drama that is harder than hard to watch, but won’t let you turn away. It gets right inside the lives and relationships of a range of participants – victims, culprits, police, their families and more. The Swedish programme Snow Angels goes even further. One of the main reasons people love Scandinavian crime fiction is that it often takes on some of the toughest social issues, throwing complex ethical conundrums for the police investigators involved.
