What is “Koskinen” Season 6 about?

The head of the unit, Sakari Koskinen, and his team face serial killers, failed jewel robberies, suspicions of murder in a psychiatric hospital, arson, and drug crimes around a drug gang.

Koskinen Season 6 Filming Locations
While a sixth season was never filmed, previous seasons were shot on location in Tampere, Finland. The city provided the authentic backdrop for the series, capturing both the urban environment and the surrounding Finnish landscapes that feature in the stories.
Why Koskinen Matters
Based on Seppo Jokinen’s beloved book series that has spanned nearly 25 years, Koskinen brought to life one of Finnish crime fiction’s most enduring characters. The series offered a realistic, unglamorous portrayal of police work—the tedium, the trauma, and the toll it takes on personal lives. Eero Aho’s performance as Sakari Koskinen captured a man haunted by the darkness he confronts daily, struggling to find peace in a world that offers none. For Finnish audiences, the series was a source of national pride, adapting a literary institution for the screen with respect and skill.
The series may be over, but its five seasons remain a testament to the power of Finnish crime drama.
