The Lawyer (2018)

In the heart of Copenhagen's law scene, a young and remarkably gifted defense lawyer, Frank Nordling, finds his world shattered into fragments by a devastating revelation. Haunted by the echo of a car bomb that robbed him of his parents, Frank, along with his sister Sara, is confronted with the harsh truth - their parents didn't die in a tragic accident but were victims of a cold-blooded murder. The puppeteer behind the scheme? Thomas Waldman, a kingpin embedded in the city's criminal underworld, and ironically, the biggest client of Frank's firm. Driven by a thirst for justice and revenge, Frank embarks on a daring mission. He infiltrates Waldman's organization, masquerading as his personal lawyer and trusted confidant. As he navigates the treacherous labyrinth of the underworld, Frank must maintain a dual life, keeping those dear to him safe while playing a high-stakes game of deception. In this intricate dance of secrets and lies, Frank is confronted with daunting questions. Can he bear the weight of the mask he wears? Will the pursuit of retribution come at too high a price? And in the grand scheme of things, who is the real puppet and who is the puppeteer? The Lawyer is a gripping exploration of a man's quest for justice and the lengths he will go to achieve it.

The Lawyer is a crime show featuring Sara Hjort Ditlevsen and created by Geir Henning Hopland.
