Weekend binge: “Gripping” Danish police drama branded ‘classic noir’ drops all 6 episodes in UK

You can now watch The Pushover, a gripping Danish drama, on Channel 4 in the UK. All six episodes of the first season are currently available to stream, making it perfect for a weekend binge.

This story follows a police inspector in North Zealand and a journalist in Copenhagen as they independently investigate a murder. Their paths converge when a well-known con artist becomes a suspect, leading them to uncover disturbing secrets.

The series follows Nora Sand, portrayed by Marie Sandø Jondal, a character originally created in the bestselling books by Lone Theils. Stockholm’s Grand Agency describes Sand as a bold and daring main character.
