Critical response
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 86% of 7 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.5/10.[8]
Writing for Forbes, Paul Tassi called it "best new crime show", stating: "As for The Åre Murders, you can either trust me that it’s quite good, or you’ll just have to give it a go and try it for yourself. As a big fan of foreign murder stories, I’m the target audience."[9] Johnny Loftus of Decider also gave a positive review, noting: "The Åre Murders features all the hallmarks of the Nordic Noir genre as it turns two differently-wired cops loose on the mystery of a teen’s disappearance. Throw in some fantastic location shots of Sweden’s mountainous north, and we’re all the way in on this investigation."[10]
