The Crash

When an El Al cargo plane crashes in one of Amsterdam’s most disadvantaged districts, veterinarian Asha Willems (Joy Delima) and journalist Vincent Dekker (Thomas Höppener) aren’t buying the government’s explanation of the tragedy. With the help of Volksrant journalist Pierre Heijboer (Yorick van Wageningen), the trio begin their search for answers over five-part Dutch docu-drama The Crash, but the powers that be are never far behind them. As they take on the most influential parts of the aviation and political worlds, shocking discoveries are made, and truths are revealed that will change the Netherlands forever.

Kin

They say blood is thicker than water, and for Dublin crime family the Kinsellas, truer words have never been spoken; nothing is more important to them than kin. The loss of one of their own at the hands of the rival Cunningham gang leaves the family reeling, and over eight gripping episodes of the Irish series, grief pushes the Kinsellas to the edge of self-destruction, torn between a desire for revenge and the need to protect those they love most. With a star-studded cast including Charlie Cox (Daredevil), Ciarán Hinds (Love/Hate) and Clare Dunne as the formidable matriarch Amanda Kinsella, it’s the perfect formula for a stand-out crime thriller.

Catch the first season of Kin at SBS On Demand from Thursday 27 July.

Riding in Darkness

There’s something not quite right about the Heddesta Riding School and it doesn’t take Molly (Saga Samuelsson) long to realise just how wrong things are. Working at the centre outside Gothenburg, under the tutelage of passionate horse trainer Tommy Lund (Jonas Karlsson), had all the makings of her dream job, but it doesn’t take long for cracks to start to appear. Based on a true story, eight-part Swedish survival thriller Riding in Darkness tells a harrowing tale of sexual abuse and the incredible bravery of three women who fight to bring a monster to justice before it’s too late.

A call up to the Serbian national team is something young footballer Denis Markovic (Denis Muric) always aspired to, and his discovery by talent scout Chucky (Andrija Kuzmanovic) could be the key to making it a reality. Unfortunately, Chucky is hardly the stable guide that Denis needs on his rise to the top. After the up-and-comer loses himself in a world of partying and drugs, Chucky loses his contract to the Belgrade Mafia, and Denis’ future hangs in the balance. With no one to trust, will Serbia’s potential golden boy find a way to salvage his chance at the big time or will it fizzle out before he gets the chance to prove himself?

Golden Boy is available to stream at SBS On Demand from Thursday 20 July.

Silent Road

A busload of children from some of Athens’ wealthiest suburbs vanish without a trace and Nasos Oikonomidis (Dimitris Lalos), an experienced detective, is faced with a silent road. Across thirteen episodes of the Greek language series, their disappearance continues to evoke the haunting tale of the Pied Piper, and the impact of this mass kidnapping on the community grows. Thalia (Penelope Tsilika), a local journalist covering the case and aunt of two of the victims, is thrust into the limelight. Do her multiple connections to the case make her a prime suspect? Or could she be the asset the investigation needs and the key to finding answers?

Silent Road is now streaming at SBS On Demand.

Heridas

Following the hugely successful Japanese and Turkish iterations of this universal story, thirteen-part Spanish language series Heridas sees 28-year-old Manuela (Adriana Ugarte) leave behind the trauma of her childhood to begin a new life researching the migratory birds of the Andalusian wetlands. Her peaceful life is quickly turned upside down, however, when she meets seven-year-old Alba (Cosette Silguero). As she begins to recognise the all too familiar signs of neglect in the little girl, Manuela feels she must protect her, and the pair decide to flee the village. Whilst on the run, they must keep their story consistent… or risk the past catching up with them. 

Heridas is now streaming at SBS On Demand.

 

Trinity of Shadows

A murder revives a cold case when determined Detective Hsu Tze Wei (Sandrine Pinna) immediately recognises a connection between the two homicides. Now the detective’s past, along with those of an up-and-coming public official Yang Chi Hsaio (Kaiser Chuang) and a novice policeman Chen Chia-Hao (Liu Kuan Ting), collide as an interwoven narrative behind the case is revealed. As each character’s individual story continues to unravel, tensions between their worlds grow, and their past traumas, especially the crimes of Detective Tze Wei’s father, seep their way into the investigation. Trinity of Shadows is a fifteen-episode Taiwanese crime thriller definitely worthy of a binge-watch.

Trinity of Shadows arrives at SBS On Demand on Thursday 27 July.

 

Safe Home

Newly employed Phoebe Rook (Aisha Dee) finds herself thrown into the deep end when she begins a role as a communications officer at an underfunded family violence legal centre. It’s a confronting job, but one that proves incredibly rewarding, as Phoebe discovers she’s got the potential to make a real difference in the lives of victims. But it’s not without risk. In each episode of this four-part Aussie thriller, Phoebe finds herself further entangled in a complex relationship that puts her work and personal life on the line, the heart-breaking reality of family violence is brought to the fore, and one thing is made clear: it could happen to anyone.
