Vares Collection

This Finnish detective series follows PI Vares, known as "the Finnish Columbo," as he navigates mysterious crimes and dangerous underworld syndicates in Helsinki. Over 14 seasons and 28 years, the series has gained a cult following for its gritty portrayal of the city, intricate cases of disappearance, homicide, and ritualistic murders, and the resilient character of Vares. The show also features his bittersweet partnership with junior colleague Kuronen, who balances Vares' eccentricity with modern detective skills. Each season presents a self-contained case, culminating in a dramatic showdown with a villain. The series blends gritty realism with whimsical dialogue, making it a unique treat for fans of detective and crime shows.
