Pick of the Day
The Glass Dome, Netflix
Created by Swedish bestselling crime author Camilla Läckberg, here's another gloomy slice of Scandi noir.
In a village in Sweden, Lejla returns to her childhood home, a place caught between tradition and modernization, causing tension among its citizens.
For Lejla, however, her return is overshadowed by something far more dark and intimidating than she ever anticipated.
As a child, she was held captive in the area by an unknown perpetrator, trapped in a glass dome. Now, another young girl has disappeared without a trace.
As Lejla investigates the disappearance, she must also confront her own inner darkness - a part of her past she's tried to avoid.
Are the similarities between Lejla's past and the girl's disappearance just a chilling coincidence? Or is history repeating itself?
