If mild winters are making you pine for the days when it really used to snow in New York — or if you just have a taste for the dramatic vistas and peculiar goings-on of Scandinavian television — here’s a roundup of recent and coming series from the Far North. And we mean far: None of these shows was filmed below 60 degrees north latitude.

‘All the Sins’

Fans of Henning Mankell’s mystery novels, and of the British series “Wallander,” which was based on them, may feel comfortable in the confines of this Finnish series available through the PBS Masterpiece channel on Amazon Prime Video. The deep green and dark blue landscapes, a mix of tidy agriculture and ubiquitous water, recall the southern Swedish vistas of “Wallander.”

And like many of Mankell’s stories, “All the Sins” is built on a specific Scandinavian social issue, in this case the power in northern Finland of Laestadianism, a stern offshoot of Lutheranism. As portrayed in the series, the sect's strictness combined with its belief in the absolute power of forgiveness make it a good match for a story involving ritualistic murders and church-enforced cover-ups.

The mystery is handled competently if a bit perfunctorily, with a typical gallery of suspects including an immigrant Iranian pizza maker, a fervent atheist and a skeevy businessman pushing a shopping-mall project. The real focus is on the byplay between the mismatched detectives: an uptight former Laestadian (Johannes Holopainen) for whom the case is an excuse to skip therapy sessions with his boyfriend, and a middle-aged single mom (Maria Sid) with guilt issues — she killed her daughter’s father, for one thing — who self-medicates with loud and frequent sex.
