'The Woods': Meet the dynamic cast of Netflix's upcoming Polish thriller series
The upcoming Netflix Original series 'The Woods' is based on Harlan Coben’s novel of the same name and the thriller seems to have a lot to offer. The trailer with its sharp snapshots and gripping crime scenes immediately catches the eye of the viewer and the extreme close-ups bring intense emotions to many scenes. What stands out the most is the protagonist of the series, Paweł Kopiński (Grzegorz Damięcki), as we see his desperate efforts to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of his sister in the year 1994. The series shows a promising binge-worthy label. We are left wondering whether the remains that Kopiński finds years after his sister went missing are his sister's or not? Either way, we're excited for this raw murder-thriller to come to life.
