Reception.
Critical response.
Writing for "Forbes", Paul Tassi called it "best new crime show", stating: "As for "The Åre Murders", you can either trust me that it’s quite good, or you’ll just have to give it a go and try it for yourself. As a big fan of foreign murder stories, I’m the target audience." Johnny Loftus of "Decider" also gave a positive review, noting: ""The Åre Murders" features all the hallmarks of the Nordic Noir genre as it turns two differently-wired cops loose on the mystery of a teen’s disappearance. Throw in some fantastic location shots of Sweden’s mountainous north, and we’re all the way in on this investigation."
