KRAKOW, Poland (AP) — The new show “Detective Forst” on Netflix brings suspense and intrigue as it follows the story of a commissioner investigating a serial killer in the cold peaks of Poland’s Tatra Mountains.
Adapted from books by popular Polish crime novelist Remigiusz Mróz, the show follows Commissioner Wiktor Forst (Borys Szyc) as he employs unconventional methods to catch a serial killer in the remote Podhale region of Poland’s southern highlands.

The show also delves into Forst’s personal struggles, including chronic migraines and a restless past in Krakow.
With its moody tone, eerie visuals, and strong central performance from Borys Szyc in the title role, “Detective Forst” captivates viewers with its settin and gritty storyline. The suspenseful show combines the grandeur of the Polish Highlands with the thriller of catching a serial killer.
The six-episode series, “Detective Forst,” is now available for streaming on Netflix.
