This superior Nordic noir is intense, sexy, well-acted and unnerving.

The cast overall is first-rate and the small dramas are numerous, and involving enough, to make “Black Sands” a bingeable excursion northward, into an atmosphere that seems naturally noirish.

When it comes to the death at the centre of the story, Black Sands moves at a glacial pace. But when it comes to the messy lives of those investigating it, it gets a spring in its step.
