SWEDISH series Jordskott is on the surface a horror/mystery thriller, with abducted children and several murders perpetrated by a ruthless killer in and around an ancient forest under siege.
In season one, Stockholm-based cop Eva Thornblad (Moa Gammel) returns to her hometown at the edge of one of the forests that cover over half of the country, in search of her lost daughter. She disappeared in the forest years before and suddenly reappears.
