The Law of the Beast on Netflix: Two Friends Face the Return of a Convict

An investigator and a psychiatrist, once friends, must revisit a decision that drove them apart. This is the conflict at the heart of The Law of the Beast, the Polish series by Kasper Bajon announced for Netflix.

In 1988, the murder of four boys shook Poland. Anna Bersz leads the investigation, while Agnieszka Grabska assesses the suspect’s mental state. Years later, the convicted man’s imminent release brings their old case back to the center of public debate.
