Netflix is heading into fall with a dark new Danish crime thriller that already looks like a gripping watch. The streaming service just dropped first-look images for “The Asset,” and from this fresh glimpse alone it’s clear this series is going to dig into loyalty and survival in some potentially unsettling ways.
The series follows an aspiring police cadet who goes undercover as a jeweler to infiltrate a criminal network that has managed to slip past the intelligence service for years. Her mission hinges on befriending the wife of the organization’s ruthless mastermind. Soon, the line between duty and empathy starts to blur.
