Netflix's popular action series is back. Owen (Noah Centineo) is just a simple lawyer within the CIA, but always seems to get into trouble. In the second season, he finds himself in the midst of high politics when he's sent to South Korea.

"Ludwig – puzzle detective" (1/2, SVT).

John is an expert on puzzles, crosswords, and brain teasers (Ludwig is his signature) and pretends to be his twin brother, police officer James, when he suddenly disappears. John's expertise proves invaluable to the police in this whodunit with popular British comedian David Mitchell in the lead role.
