Finland is a latecomer to the Scandi-noir boom, All4 having recently added the Helsinki-set crime drama
All My Sins to its Walter Presents catalogue. Better by far is Man in Room 301, the new Finnish thriller sourced by the BBC’s reliably discerning head of programme acquisitions, Sue Deeks. Perhaps BBC Four’s Saturday-night subtitled drama slot should be renamed “Sue Presents”.
The story is divided between 2007, when two-year-old Tommi Kurtti is killed during the family’s midsummer celebrations at their rural retreat, and 2019, when the surviving Kurtii family members take a holiday at a Greek resort.
