It’s my second time through, but perhaps I’ll take a break for a new European murder show instead.The new series is Blood Sacrifice, currently #3 on Netflix’s top 10 list. It’s Nordic, in this case from Sweden, where that region produces some fantastic series in this genre, particularly miniseries. Blood Sacrifice has arrived with a solid 86% Rotten Tomatoes review score, and it is worth checking out.What’s Blood Sacrifice about? The concept is that murders targeting police officers begin to happen every Friday at 1:15 AM, and a detective attempts to stop the timely killer to prevent this from happening as a weekly occurrence. He will have to pair up with his estranged ex-cop father to do so.The series is led by Jakob Oftebro, who previously appeared in Escaping Bolivia, Stenbeck, and the very highly scored Kids in Crime. It’s worth noting that Blood Sacrifice was created by George Kay, who previously created Gone, Hijack and Lupin, all high-profile series. Also, he did the entire Criminal series, which spanned four European countries: the UK, France, Germany, and Spain. The point being, he’s got a great pedigree and Blood Sacrifice is especially noteworthy given his involvement.Blood SacrificeCOURTESY OF NETFLIXMORE FOR YOUWhile Outer Banks is dominating many countries on Netflix right now, including the US, Blood Sacrifice is...
