Snow Angels on MHz Choice
Leo by Deon Meyer,
translated by K. L. Seegers

Some serious diversion might be in order now, because of the frenzied activity emanating from Washington, D.C., and … just February in general. It’s a good time to watch or read something you can get lost in.

While completely different in subject and tone—one is about a missing baby, the other about an ambitious heist—the Swedish TV series Snow Angels and the South African geopolitical police procedural Leo are engrossing enough to distract from whatever’s troubling you now. Because what these characters are going through is probably worse.
