Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kristofer Hivju (Erik/Henrik) is best known globally as Tormund Giantsbane in Game of Thrones—this is his rare lead role in Norwegian television.
The series deliberately avoids typical crime procedural beats despite its premise; creator Kristoffer Metcalfe wanted to explore 'the horror of intimacy' rather than mystery.
