Cold Courage is a gripping and intense crime thriller series that premiered on AMC in 2020. The show is based on a popular Finnish book series by Pekka Hiltunen, and explores the dark underbelly of modern society through the eyes of two strong-willed women who are drawn into a dangerous world of corruption, betrayal, and conspiracy.

The show follows the story of Mari, a Finnish nurse who is drawn into the world of the London-based secret organisation known as the Studio, after witnessing a violent attack on a young Muslim girl. The Studio is a vigilante group that seeks to expose and bring to justice those who have committed heinous crimes but escape prosecution due to their connections with high society.

After Mari is recruited by the Studio, she finds herself working alongside her newfound partner, Lia, a former Finnish police officer who is also a member of the group. Together, Mari and Lia embark on a dangerous mission to uncover the truth behind a series of high-profile crimes, exposing a web of corruption and cover-ups that goes all the way to the top of society.

As their investigations deepen, Mari and Lia find themselves facing off against a ruthless criminal organisation known as the Wolf Pack, who are determined to silence them at any cost. But as the two women continue to search for the truth, they also start to uncover dark secrets about each other, leading them to question their loyalties and alliances.

At the heart of Cold Courage is the complex and compelling relationship between Mari and Lia, who are both strong, fiercely independent women with their own agendas and motivations. As the series progresses, we learn more about their respective backgrounds and the people who have shaped their lives, giving us a deeper understanding of what drives them to risk everything to bring criminals to justice.

The show's performances are outstanding, with Sofia Pekkari and Pihla Viitala delivering powerful performances as Mari and Lia respectively. Their chemistry on screen is palpable, and they bring an intensity and vulnerability to their roles that makes their characters feel real and relatable.

John Simm also delivers a strong performance as the charming but dangerous Arthur Fried, the head of the Studio. Simm's portrayal of the character is both charismatic and chilling, and he brings a sense of unpredictability to every scene he is in.

The show's cinematography is also impressive, with stunning shots of London's iconic landmarks and dark and moody alleyways adding to the sense of tension and unease that permeates the series. The score, composed by Lasse Enersen, is also fantastic, perfectly complementing the show's atmospheric visuals and adding an extra layer of intensity to the action and suspense.

In conclusion, Cold Courage is an excellent crime thriller series that offers a fresh and compelling take on the vigilante genre. The show's excellent performances, stunning visuals, and gripping storyline make it a must-watch for fans of crime dramas and anyone looking for a suspenseful and thought-provoking show.
