We love spotting amazing new shows on Netflix that might have flown under the radar - and this looks like one of the best ones fans. Fans are loving the new Swedish import The Åre Murders, a scandi noir murder mystery series that follows the disappearance of a young woman on an icy night. 

The story follows a police officer, Hanna Ahlander, who has no choice but to move to her sister's vacation home in Åre after being suspended from her job and dumped by her partner in Stockholm.

So when a woman disappears, Hanna can't resist investigating what happened to her. Reluctantly taken on by a local police officer, Daniel Lindskog, the pair have to build trust to find out what happened to the missing girl.
