EndedScripted showDrama, Action, Crime

Virta is a crime series, a Finnish answer to shows like Beck and Wallander.

Criminal Commissar Lasse Virta (Antti Virmavirta) is a classic character: charismatic, intelligent and adventurous. He is a lone wolf, a workaholic, whose outside goals are mostly past.

While Virta focuses solely on solving crimes, Kari Salminen (Petteri Summanen), his partner, has a busy private life to contend with. Salminen is impulsive, and he is used to challenging his co-worker. Nevertheless, Virta and Salmi work well in their desire to understand the criminal mind and fight against crime.

The 12-piece series consists of six stories.
