The Best Movies on Peacock (September 2022) By Paste Movies Staff Septem| 4:00pm.For solitary winter TV watching on a forgettable holiday, this is a must. Not so in the show, where John Cardinal (played with excellent world-weariness by Billy Campbell) teams up with Lisa Delorme (Karine Vanasse)-a legitimately multi-dimensional woman, which is not always a given in crime shows-to hunt down a killer and his own demons amid a frigid landscape where even the trees (birch, exclusively) are white. It’s also a really solid detective show out of a land where in real life people are too nice to commit crimes. Here are a few recs from around the snow globe-some might be very familiar, but hopefully there are a few new ones in the mix. Fight your way to that mental zone, and believe me, nothing can touch you. So while you’re sitting at home this winter season dreaming of better times, I can think of nothing better to watch than SNOW NOIR. It’s the ideal we should have all been pursuing from the start: standing upright before the wall of white, expecting nothing good but soldiering on anyway.
These detectives usually wind up inhabiting their grim mindsets because of personal hardship, but regardless, the last two years have shown their general perspective to be the correct one. And it’s always cold, and it’s always snowing. Mostly weird sex fiends or child murderers.

But it’s my chosen stereotype, gleaned from endless hours watching Nordic Noir and Nordic Noir-adjacent shows, full of sad men and women for whom heaven and earth must be moved to wrench a weary smile from their hard visages. Of course, this description likely bears no relationship to any real-life place you’d call “Nordic” (I’ve never been to any of them … the closest I’ve come is Ireland, which has the same historic relation to Nordic peoples as tarmac does to a steamroller). Staring into clouds of white, stubbornly unhappy, but somewhat fatalistic in a way that helps them survive. They were right all along, I think, these stoic people of the snow. It’s cold and wintry, so what are you going to watch? Let me argue for the Nordics.
