Black Widows is a dark and thrilling crime drama series that premiered on Acorn TV in 2016. The show is a remake of a popular Finnish TV drama that is based on the Nordic Noir genre. The series follows three women who form an unlikely bond when they meet at their husbands’ funeral. In the first episode, we get a glimpse of the web of lies and deceit that has been spun by the husbands of the three leading characters, Alex, Johanna, and Miranda. The three women are all married to successful businessmen who are involved in illegal activities. However, when their husbands die in a suspicious car explosion on their way to a hunting trip, the women decide to take control of their own lives and avenge their husbands’ deaths. The show is set in the picturesque town of Planica, a small and exclusive place on the Adriatic coast of Slovenia. It is a place where the wealthy come to play, and everyone knows everyone, or at least they think they do. The town is full of beautiful mansions, luxurious yachts, and expensive cars, but beneath the surface, there is a dark world of crime and corruption. The three women, who have nothing in common except for their grief and anger, come together to plot the perfect murder. As their plan unfolds, they become more and more embroiled in a web of lies and deceit that threatens to unravel at any moment. The show is a well-crafted thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The plotting is tight, and the characters are well-drawn, which makes it easy to become invested in their stories. The actresses who play the leading roles are all excellent, and they bring a unique energy to each of their characters. Alex is played by Cecilia Forss, who is a newcomer to the Swedish TV scene. She is a talented actress who brings a vulnerability to the role of a bored housewife who discovers an inner strength she never knew she had. Johanna is played by Beate Bille, a Danish actress who is best known for her role in the TV series The Legacy. She brings a toughness and a sense of determination to the role of a high-powered lawyer who is not afraid to bend the rules to get what she wants. Miranda is played by Synnøve Macody Lund, a Norwegian actress who is best known for her role in the film Headhunters. She brings a sense of mystery and intrigue to the role of a woman who has a dark secret that she is desperate to keep hidden. The show is beautifully shot, and the scenery is breathtaking. The town of Planica is a character in itself, and the show takes full advantage of its location to create a sense of claustrophobia and isolation. The cinematography is moody and atmospheric, and it sets the tone for the show perfectly. The show deals with themes of trust, loyalty, and revenge. It explores the lengths that people will go to in order to protect the people they love and the secrets they keep. It also delves into the idea of whether or not justice can truly be served when the legal system fails. Overall, Black Widows is a great addition to the Nordic Noir genre. It is a gripping and suspenseful show that will keep you guessing until the very end. The acting is excellent, the writing is sharp and the direction is solid. If you are a fan of crime dramas, then this is definitely a show that you should check out.
