Ten years later, Judith (Nailia Harzoune, Les petits meurtres d’Agatha Christie), whose love has made his life worth living again, suddenly disappears.

NON-PREMIERE PROGRAMS BEING ADDED TO STREAMING SERVICES

Bannan: Season 1 (Scotland)

The first Scottish series to screen in the US is this drama set on an unnamed island in the Hebrides. It follows Màiri MacDonald (Debbie Mackay, Red Rose), a lawyer in Aberdeen who returns home to the island to attend a funeral. She left eight years earlier to escape everything about the island — from its claustrophobia, customs and mentality, to her dysfunctional family. With her return, the couple of days she’d planned to spend in the tight-knit community turn into weeks, owing to the bannan — the emotional ties — that bind her to the place and its people, and force her to confront unresolved conflicts from her past.

The Bridge: Season 1 (Bron/Broen) (Sweden-Denmark)

In Season 1 of this critically-acclaimed series — one of the best crime dramas ever — what appears to be a woman’s dead body placed dead center across the border of Sweden and Denmark on the Øresund Bridge turns out to be the top half of a Swedish woman and the bottom half of a Danish woman, thus necessitating the involvement of police from both countries. Saga Norén (Sophia Helin, Atlantic Crossing, Mystery Road), a Swedish detective in Malmö, is forced to team up with Copenhagen-based Danish detective Martin Rohde (Kim Bodnia, Killing Eve, The Letter for the King) — an initially-tense setup that evolves into an effective partnership and an unlikely yet affectionate friendship. The investigation into the corpses is just the start for Saga and Martin, as their cross-border assignment will ultimately involve several more crimes and murders instigated and committed by the “Truth Terrorist.”

The cast includes Dag Malmberg (Spring Tide), Sarah Boberg (Below the Surface), Rafael Pettersson (Arne Dahl), Puk Scharbau (The Killing), Lars Simonsen (Follow the Money), and Emil Birk Hartmann (Swinger).

The Nordic Murders: Season 1 begins streaming as a no-additional-charge Prime Video offering starting Sunday, August 1, through the end of the month.

Tunnel of Dreams (Gotthard) (Switzerland)

This award-winning historical drama, which I quite enjoyed, follows three characters whose lives are linked to the construction of the Gotthard Tunnel, the 15-kilometer railway tunnel that connects Göschenen with Airolo in Switzerland, between 1873 and 1882. They are Max Büuhl (Maxim Mehmet, Generation War), a wannabe engineer whose skills in arithmetic help him to land a job with the tunnel’s contractor; Tommaso Lazzaroni (Pasquale Aleardi, Inspector Dupin), a hot-headed Italian miner who has a job on the tunnel project; and Anna Tresch (Miriam Stein, The Team), the business-minded daughter of the local hauler who rents the room above her father’s barn to both men.

In the bustle and confusion of the expanding city and the tunnel’s construction, the trio forge a friendship that defies the differences of social class and tackles internal and external dramas, including the growing tension between Tommaso, who becomes the spokesman of the miners, and Max, who struggles to be loyal to both his employer and his friends.

Shown in Swiss German (with English subtitles), Tunnel of Dreams begins streaming Friday, August 20, on the PBS Masterpiece Prime Video Channel and the Walter Presents digital channels.
