Eyewitness (15)

Simply Media, £14.99

With every new instalment of so-called "Nordic noir" there's a sense of diminishing returns. Wallander potters along regardless, like a sort of Swedish Midsomer Murders, but nothing has quite matched that first series of The Killing: not the subsequent series, not The Bridge (though it was good) and certainly not Mammon, which screened on Channel 4 last year.

From the same stable as Mammon, Norwegian state broadcaster NRK, comes six-parter Eyewitness. It hasn't had the benefit of a high profile TV run but it will go some way to restoring faith in the "Nordic Noir" brand.

A clever set-up finds two gay schoolboys witnessing a murky late night gang hit and then being seen by the intended victim, who escapes. Enter a possse of Hell's Angels, a crew of big time foreign criminals and some fishy cops. But the real star is tenacious local police chief Helen Skikkeland (Anneke von der Lippe), eight years on homicide in the big city and foster mother to one of the two young witnesses. Think Fargo-meets-Happy Valley.
