What is Equinox on Netflix about?

Have you heard about Equinox on Netflix yet? If you’re in the mood for something supernatural (and perhaps still hunting the perfect Stranger Things fix), this new Danish Netflix Original might be just the ticket!

Right now, the series only has one season under its belt, and it’s definitely one worth looking into if you’ve got a minute. So let’s.

Equinox on Netflix synopsis

The six-part, character driven series is actually based on Tea Lindeburg’s popular Danish podcast called Equinox 1985. Lindeburg is also the creator of the TV version. As noted by Decider, this supernatural thriller falls into the “Scandi-noir” genre for its “dark and moody” approach, as well as its psychologically driven and sometimes terrifying plot points.

Netflix describes the plot with:

"Haunted by visions after her sister vanished with her classmates 21 years before, Astrid begins an investigation that uncovers the dark, eerie truth."

Starring Danica Curcic, Karoline Hamm, and Viola Martinsen, Astrid (Curcic) is forever traumatized by visions associated with a mind-boggling disappearance back in 1999. Flash forward to 2020 and the night terrors are back, with the sole survivor of what went down now dead.

It becomes clear that the only way Astrid will ever rest easy again is to fully solve the mystery. But what she begins to uncover is a nightmare in itself. And whether or not she can handle that “dark, eerie truth” remains the central dilemma.

This suspenseful Scandinavian series is rated TV-MA. Viewer discretion is definitely advised, but the first episode is also notably the most “tame.” According to the IMDb Parents Guide, this adult rating is mostly due to some themes being sexual in nature, and occasional “moderate” nudity.
