The Nurse
Created by Kasper Barfoed
On Netflix
A tense, true-crime miniseries about institutional suspicion and moral complicity, driven by one nurse's growing certainty that her colleague is responsible for patient deaths.
Pernille Kurzmann Larsen, a fresh-faced nurse at a hospital, begins to question the attention-seeking tendencies of her colleague, Christina Aistrup Hansen. As Pernille delves deeper into her suspicions, she starts to believe that Christina's behavior may be linked to a series of patient deaths.
