The blackest winter days may feel like the ideal time for another close shot of cool Scandi-noir, but Netflix's Danish Equinox series does not cool down. Here, there are no strange detectives in an enviable knit that steps through attractive low-lying cities and sharp forests to apply logic to mourning crimes. We are somewhere wilder and more confused.
Astrid (Danica Curcic) is a 30-year-old, recently divorced mother of someone who was on the TV drama model for a damaged soul. Her muscular hair is always wasted, her reluctance to deviate from simple vests and cardigans is an obvious cry for help, and she has exactly the job you expect a character defined by tight intensity to have: she is a journalist who is hosting a late night. a radiotelephone dealing with feverish thoughts and borderline fears.
One evening, a critical call comes that gets a trip home to Copenhagen to investigate the tragedy that destroyed her family when she was a girl. Flashbacks place us in the summer of 1999, when Astrid's older sister Ida disappeared into the air with a busload of students who had just finished high school. Here's the thing: little Astrid was not surprised when the police hit her with bad news because she foresaw the disaster in her dreams. Now her visions have come to fruition again, and the shocking phone call comes from one of the better students who was on the fatal bus ride, but who inexplicably did not disappear and became afraid of the experience. They are still there and contain secrets that Astrid's imagination may unlock.
Then begins one of those rabbit threads, where one who we do not think is misguided more and more resembles their anxious loved ones because most of their evidence lies in their head and the only people who can confirm their theories, have also had. their lives were ruined by the event. It is such a kind of performance where the hero delivers a Jiffy bag containing an old cassette and an anonymous note requesting a meeting and then the meeting is displayed in an unused marketplace. There's a bit of a ring, a lot of weird stuff, a memory of The Returners and a taste of the Da Vinci Code, all created for a general ghost that covers the many plot holes - most of "the protagonist does not ask an obvious next question "kind - with a suffocating fog.
Okay, if that just solves the story, but Equinox risks mixing amazing dice with some serious issues. The young and old Astrid is just annoyed by her nightmare, and especially the early episodes are a duck call to viewers who see themselves in a woman haunted by too much thinking, anxiety and maybe even psychosis. Astrid's mental health is integrated into the action: it's a riddle involved in the diagnosis. Sometimes it seems like we are playing trauma like a teenager destroying the Ouija board.
Equinox also shows a play of how different reactions to loss can separate those left behind; about how parents can never be sure that the decisions they make for their children are right, but know that the wrong ones can stay with their children forever; and about how sad or vulnerable people feel about conspiracy theory and belief in myths. Such recognizable, worldly concerns are in the best stories of someone who may or may not experience the supernatural, delicate game against the obvious possibility that magic can actually happen.
It is a balance that Equinox does not quite hit. It shows its hand too soon, and when the sensational twists pile up and the likelihood of a satisfying ending decreases, the chances of something useful being said about the characters' pain also decrease - which many viewers can share and recognize. We can see the real emotions that the show is trying to talk about, but it's too far away from reality to feel a proper connection.
But the equinox is not a complete exploitation train either. Curlew has the right kind of delicate, haunted courage for the hurried Astrid, and Karoline Hamm is amazing as the doomed Ida, a carefree teenager who is the hottest, coolest girl in a friendly group separated by intertwined unrequited longing, but whose sexual awakening is something. she is not ready to rule. For extensions of its not-too-long, easy bingo six-section, Equinox throws a kind of spell. Just do not think too much about it.
