Outlier (Acorn TV Exclusive, Foreign Language, Norwegian with English subtitles) - Binge

Acorn TV's latest Scandi noir drama centers on the hunt for what turns out to be a serial killer. One night far north in Norway, a teenager on her way home from a party finds a cell phone ringing. The phone belongs to a missing girl, Sofie, whose body was later found in a camping resort three hours south of Finnmark. Criminology student Maja Angell (Hanne Mathisen Haga) hears about this murder case which is her hometown, defies all warnings and leaves college to travel North. She has a message for the local police: the man charged with the murder is not the serial killer, though no one is willing to listen to her theories. Not until Maja dares to delve into her own most dangerous, repressed memories of childhood will she be able to stop him and soon she realizes that the killer is closer than she ever imagined.
