Crime Solving For Beginners(2022)

Crime Solving For Beginners is a Latvian miniseries that follows rookie detective Aldis Karklins as he investigates the murder of a powerful political figure on Latvia's independence day in 1994. The 23-year-old officer uncovers a web of organized crime and lingering KGB conspiracies that refuse to die with the Soviet Union. Set against the backdrop of a newly independent nation still grappling with its Soviet past, the seven-episode series blends political intrigue with noir-tinged detective work. Based on Andris Kolbergs' acclaimed crime novel, the show explores how personal ambition and institutional corruption collide in the chaos of post-Soviet transition, as Aldis discovers that solving a single murder means confronting the ghosts of an entire regime.
