Reddit users have suggested a dark Netflix drama to watch after Endeavour. The Danish series, titled The Chestnut Man, has been hailed as a “masterpiece” and is tailor-made for fans of ITV favourites Endeavour and Vera.
In a Reddit thread seeking recommendations following the conclusion of the Inspector Morse prequel, one user listed several crime dramas, including Broadchurch, Vera, and The Chestnut Man. While the first two are well-established British staples, The Chestnut Man is considerably darker and may have slipped under the radar.
The Chestnut Man is a Danish drama that follows two detectives pursuing a serial killer who leaves chilling figurines made from chestnuts at crime scenes. The killer is connected to the child of a missing politician, and the detectives must race against time to apprehend the murderer.
The Scandi-noir thriller has garnered glowing reviews on IMDb. One viewer awarded it 10/10, calling it “another Danish thriller masterpiece” and praising it as gripping and intense. Another reviewer gave it 9/10, describing it as a “Netflix hidden gem” and a great roller-coaster ride.
Comparisons have been drawn to other Danish crime dramas like The Bridge. One viewer noted that while it’s not The Bridge, the acting is outstanding and the story is horrifying, recommending it to fans of The Bridge, The Killing, or Springfloden.
