Hulu's six-episode weekly murder mystery (Friday, *** out of four), based on the novels of Giles Blunt, focuses on police detective John Cardinal (Billy Campbell, The Killing), whose tenacious search for a missing indigenous teen girl in a snow-covered, northern Ontario community eventually puts him on the trail of a serial killer.
Cardinal is a familiar murder-mystery type, the damaged but dedicated detective whose inability to let go of a dead-end investigation threatens his career but ultimately leads to solving the crime. However, the Canadian series adds an intriguing twist: the investigator also is the investigated, as Cardinal's behavior in a previous case may come back to haunt him.
