Apparently, another twist is always possible so that from
Nordic noir
you can go to
Artic noir
.
This is the case of
Ártico
, which in its third season once again narrates the tribulations of Nina Kautsalo, about to be the new police chief of Ivalo, a woman with a complicated family situation and commendable professional perseverance.
But in a series interesting collateral information usually emerges.
In the case of Arctic there is a recurring theme: birth rates.
Nina is pregnant and having or not having a new child—she is already the mother of a child with Down syndrome—becomes an added problem to her work, which in this season is to solve the murder of the Ivalo pharmacist, a character shady that has some connection with the attempted theft of a prototype car from a powerful American company that has its test circuit in the area.
Naturally, business power is never far from arrogance, that is, even in countries as hypothetically civilized as Finland, corruption is not strange.
Of course, if we turn to Wikipedia we know that Finland has a much smaller total population than the Community of Madrid, it is also true that it does not have Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and that Finnish Lapland, the place of the action, has fewer inhabitants than Alcalá de Henares for an area equivalent to one sixth of Spain.
Conclusion: birth rate is an important issue as Olli Haikka, Petja Peltomaa, Joona Tena and Jón Atli Jónasson, scriptwriters of the series that Cosmo shows on Movistar Plus+, know well.
And, now that we are talking about series in which the unborn have a certain role and that, as was said, another twist is always possible, it is worth mentioning
Last Chance
(Prime Video), a French series in which Tara, a baby of six months, has a relevant role: while his mother is preparing a bottle for him, shots are heard.
A week later, her mother wakes up in the hospital from a deep coma and learns that her husband has been murdered and her daughter kidnapped.
She begins a two-year search in which her maternal suffering is omnipresent.
Rafael Azcona said that he did not go to the movies to suffer.
François Velle, responsible for
Last Chance
, had to share it and the series has a happy ending.
