“We will find the truth, we will find the guilty.” Topic has released the official US trailer for the streaming series from Finland Helsinki syndrome, a riff on the classic term “Stockholm Syndrome”. The story is related to a crime from the past, which is related to the current hostage situation in Finland. Businessman Elias Karo takes four journalists hostage to reveal that 30 years ago, a bank manager and a district court judge took his family’s property with the government’s blessing, causing an ongoing family tragedy. Elias, a working-class family man, is deeply troubled by the financial dispute his family experienced in the 90s. To solve a decades-long vendetta, he holds 4 journalists hostage to expose bank and government corruption while concealing an ulterior motive. Stars of the series Xenija Peter Franzén, I am Airolaand Taneli Mäkelä. This definitely looks like a made-for-TV series, but it has an intriguing premise and I’m curious to see how this guy and his demands end. If you’re interested in corruption, this looks like one to watch.
