There is a very strong folkloric and pagan aspect to the story which is explained sufficiently through Astrid’s “research” and the bedtime story her father read to her as a child. It does perhaps show its cards too early in the story but nevertheless retained enough mystery to engage me throughout. This show has aspects which reminded me a little of Jordskott and Les Revenants, along with the other shows that revolve around the “disappeared” and folklore. I admit to binge watching this effortlessly over a couple of days. In the show Equinox, the legend which helps us understand the ending details the Hare King being madly in love with Ostara during the Equinox.Ī couple of useful sources for more details about Ostara etc. The legend of Ostara which you might find useful to know about either before, or after, watching: Writers: Mette Kruse, Tea Lindsburg, Tue Walin Storm, Andreas Garfield, Jacob Katz Hansen, Bo Mikkelsen and Mje Sjkoldemoseĭirector: Søren Balle and Mads MatthiesenĮquinox is based on a podcast by Tea Lindeburg “Haunted by visions after her sister vanished with her classmates 21 years before, Astrid begins an investigation that uncovers the dark, eerie truth.” Danish with English subtitles and dubbing available.
