Mies joka kuoli

One of the best Finnish shows I have seen since being introduced to Nordic productions about 5 years ago. The actors were superb, the storyline had mystery, humor, action, some fantasy elements and most of all, heart. The story is about man who is a specialty mushroom distributor and owner. The first scene shows him in Japan at a board meeting wooing his new potential customer. The Japanese appreciate exotic mushrooms and are willing to meet in Finland to further research the mushrooms and his business. The relationship between the Japanese CEO and the Finnish owner is a good, solid one, as each finds beauty in nature, the forest and what the earth provides for us humans. This business relationship and trust is key throughout the show while the main character experiences profound upheavals in every other aspect of his limited life. I'm being vague purposely as I hope there are others who will be intrigued enough to actually give the 4-part series a try. It's really that good!
