one of the newer arrivals worth your time, Annika is currently streaming in Australia on BritBox and Acorn TV, and in the US on PBS and PBS Masterpiece Amazon Channel with a 7/10 audience score that speaks for itself. 12 episodes — the right length to tell the story it's telling.

At its heart, Annika is a procedural that understands what makes the genre work — character first, plot second. The sharp, witty and enigmatic DI Annika Strandhed, as she heads up a new specialist Marine Homicide Unit (MHU) that is tasked with investigating the unexplained, brutal, and seemingly unfathomable murders. Nicola Walker and Jamie Sives lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (2021–2023), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

If you're the type who can't walk away from a good mystery, Annika will keep you watching far longer than you planned.
