Equinox: Six part Danish series, 21 years ago 21 high school graduates disappeared during a celebration. Astrid, the sister of one of the disappeared is now a radio presenter and gets a call from one of the three students who didn't vanish. This sets off a quest involving the Spring Goddess Ostara, a Hare King and a still existent Cult devoted to Ostara. Many mysteries and enigmas are encountered, what happened to the students and Astrid's life at the time is revealed through flashbacks. Another realm of existence is accessed through dreams and visions. This is very much an adult Fork Horror drama, just as robust and demanding as The Wicker Man and Midsommar in it's themes and the rituals portrayed; it even has a scene which pays homage to Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The screenplay perhaps isn't as well developed as those classics and does have a couple of plot holes. Nevertheless Equinox is well worth watching. On Netflix. 8/10.
