Wisting is a crime drama series that follows William Wisting, a highly skilled and experienced detective in Norway. In Season 1 Episode 1, viewers are introduced to a complex and gripping murder case that sees Wisting and his team struggling to make sense of a seemingly senseless crime.
The episode begins with Wisting receiving a call from his colleague, Johnny. Johnny informs him of a body that has been found in a remote woods area. Wisting immediately sets out with his team to investigate the crime scene. As they arrive, they are greeted by the local police force and the victim's car which has been abandoned nearby.
As Wisting and his team begin to analyse the scene and gather any clues that may indicate who the killer could be, Wisting's daughter, Line, an ambitious journalist arrives intrigued by the story. Despite being pressed for information, Wisting refuses to reveal any details about the case to Line, determined to maintain the integrity of the investigation.
After a thorough search of the victim's car, Wisting's team finds a written note that leads them to believe that the murder is part of a series of killings that have been happening in the area. They soon discover that the killer has been meticulous in their planning, leaving behind barely any evidence or leads.
Not long after, one of the detectives is tasked with pursuing a lead in the case, which ultimately leads them to suspect one of their own colleagues. In the midst of all this chaos, Wisting is also dealing with a personal issue - his father is suffering from dementia and has wandered off.
Wisting struggles to balance the demands of his job with his personal life, as he tries to stay composed while exploring the different angles that could help them solve the case. As the investigation continues, it becomes clear to Wisting and his team that the killer has a warped sense of logic and is playing a dangerous game with them.
Despite the mounting pressure and challenges that Wisting faces, he remains determined to catch the killer and bring them to justice. Season 1 Episode 1 is a gripping and intense introduction to the series, that successfully captures the attention of the audience and sets up the intriguing and complex plot that unfolds throughout the rest of the season.
