ACORN TV continues its foray into Nordic Noir with the premiere of For Life, a Norwegian crime drama available for binge-watching on Monday, December 30, 2024. This eight-episode series follows Victoria Woll, a former police detective whose life takes a dramatic turn when she finds herself on the wrong side of the bars.
The story unfolds on two timelines, flashing back fifteen years to a murder case that continues to haunt Victoria. Siv Bakke, the victim, is more than just a name in a file; she represents a tangled web of professional and personal connections that Victoria must unravel from her prison cell. We see glimpses of a younger Victoria working alongside her colleagues, Ayla and Kit, trying to piece together the puzzle of Siv’s death.
The present-day narrative focuses on the ramifications of the past, not just for Victoria but for those connected to the case. The narrative thread involves the escape of Siv’s daughter from the killer which adds a ticking-clock element to the narrative adding a sense of urgency.
Created by Emmy award-winning writer Gjermund S. Eriksen (Mammon), For Life explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the enduring power of the past. With all eight episodes dropping at once, viewers can immerse themselves in this complicated world of crime, secrets, and the fight for justice, even from behind bars.
All eight episodes of For Life are available on ACORN TV starting Monday, December 30, 2024.
