What to Expect

Vares 2.0 pairs missing-person mysteries with the unease of a criminal underworld. Disappearances give the investigations a concrete, troubling question: what happened to the people who vanished? The private-eye approach keeps the drama focused on the search for answers, with Jussi Vares pursuing cases tied to Turku’s underworld rather than crime in the abstract.

Turku provides a specific local backdrop for that detective work, linking the mysteries to the city’s criminal life. Adapted from Reijo Mäki’s books, the series brings together a named investigator, unresolved disappearances and an underworld to navigate, giving its crime stories a clear investigative focus.

Official premise

Private detective Jussi Vares investigates surprising disappearances related to the Turku underworld. Based on the bestselling books by Reijo Mäki.
