Prisoner

Sammi, Henrik, Miriam, and Gert are prison officers and colleagues in an old, worn-down Danish prison. Their work environment is raw and hostile, and their respective lives outside the prison walls are filled with conflict, secrets, and loneliness for very different reasons. Secrets, that will soon resurface and have great consequences not only for the four prisoners, but for everyone inside and outside the walls.
[NRK] A hard-hitting prison drama, in which each episode is marked by some moment of extreme violence. With a claustrophobic atmosphere, it involves the characters in a personal life that is sometimes harsher than the insecurity of the prison itself, which indicates that the officials are just as trapped outside as inside the prison. Although it has a less realistic approach than one might expect, closer to American dramas than to the reality of the Danish prison system, it manages to maintain a solid pulse in a season in crescendo.
