The Woods (Polish: '''W głębi lasu'''|italic=yes) is a Polish mystery thriller television miniseries, based on the 2007 novel of the same name by Harlan Coben.^[1] The series premiered on Netflix on 12 June 2020. It is the second Polish-language series produced for Netflix, after 1983.^[2]

Synopsis

The story unfolds in two different time periods: August 1994 and September 2019. In 2019, Warsaw prosecutor Paweł Kopiński is called upon to identify the body of a murder victim who was found with newspaper clippings about him. The murder seems to be linked to the August 1994 summer camp where Paweł was a chaperone, during which two people were murdered and two others—including his sister Kamila—went missing without a trace.
