Netflix’s top 10 is always changing, but every so often an original that didn’t get much marketing breaks through the noise and climbs the rankings fast. That’s exactly what’s happened with “Land of Sin,” the Swedish crime thriller that’s suddenly become one of the most-watched series on the platform, currently sitting in the No. 5 spot. While it’s unlikely to overtake “Stranger Things,” it’s already proving to have real staying power.
“Land of Sin” opens with the discovery of a body at a remote farmhouse, and things only grow more complicated from there. The series pairs an unconventional detective with a newly graduated police officer, sending them deep into a suspicious community. The investigation quickly proves to be anything but simple, which is golden material for a compact story like this one.
