Unit One: Complete Series (DVD)

Winner of the 2002 international Emmy award for best drama and inspired by actual police cases, the Danish TV crime drama Unit One reveals an unvarnished perspective on criminal casework and the people who spend their lives doing it. Charlotte Fich (The Killing, Wallander Season 1) stars as the ambitious detective Ingrid Dahl who’s been promoted to lead Unit One, the elite mobile task force created to support law enforcement across Denmark. Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal, Casino Royale) plays Detective Alan Fisher, the bad boy of the team whose disregard for rules and hot temper often lead to trouble for him and the team. The cerebral and intuitive Thomas Lacour, played by Lars Brygmann (The Spider, Borgen), has the uncanny ability to visualize what really happened at crime scenes and veteran detective IP Sørenson is the glue that holds the team together. Johnny Olson, the former Danish national soccer star, drives Unit One’s mobile HQ and has struck up a relationship with logistics specialist Gabby Levin. As a group they tackle cases involving murder, kidnapping, human trafficking, and extortion. The job challenges everything they know about the criminal mind and takes a heavy toll on their personal lives.
