Bordertown is a very beautiful crime drama series on Netflix OTT platform. It’s a Finnish web series. There are three seasons of this web series. The first seasons was released on Netflix in 2016 and subsequently second and third seasons were released in 2018 and 2019. All the seasons were well received by the audience. Many fans are desperately waiting for the fourth season of this very enjoyable crime series.

Even though Bordertown is a crime drama in which Ville Virtanen plays the role of genius detective, one enjoys it like family drama. Because the family life and relations of Kari Sorjonen (Ville Virtanen) with his wife Paulina (Matleena Kuusniemi) and daughter Janina (Olivia Ainali) are shown beautifully. The father, mother and daughter from Sorojen family have their differences like any other family but at the same time immensely love and care for each other.

All the actors from the series have given fantastic performance. One of the most beautiful aspects of Bordertown is the lovable relations and understanding between Kari and Paulina. It is very important nowadays to understand and help each other when both husband and wife are working. In this series Kari is a detective who remains always busy with his criminal detections and Paulina is a lawyer who works in the company/firm of her former boyfriend. The chemistry between Ville Virtanen and Matleena Kuusniemi is fantastic. Olivia Ainali has played a lovely child of Kari and Paulina. The name of her character is Janina Sarojin.

Nowadays we can see that people compete with each other badly at work places. But, in Bordertown it is shown that the detectives and other staff cooperate with each other. Not only they help but care for others.

There is an emotional scene when Paulina is in last stage of cancer and admitted in hospital and Kari sleeps alongside her on a hospital bed. He is always busy with his work but when his life was spending last days in hospital he makes it a point to be with her.

After the death of Paulina, Kari starts getting the visions of Paulina. It’s nothing but hallucinations, hence Lena (played by Anu Sinisalo), his colleague decides to take care of him.

Overall, Bordertown is a superbly directed, well acted, beautiful and emotional criminal (detective) drama series. One must watch it. The fans are eagerly waiting for the fourth season of this fantastic web series.

Actually a film titled ‘Botdertown Mural Murders’ has been made and in this film it has been shown that Kari is admitted in hospital for psychiatric issues. In ‘Bordertown Mural Murders’, Kari finds out the mastermind behind the murders taking place in Bordertown webseries. But, a full-fledged fourth and subsequent seasons will definitely give a good treat to the fans. Hence, it’s an earnest request to the makers on behalf of fans to come up with fourth season of Bordertown as soon as possible.
