Wasteland
Available on HBO Max
As part of HBO's plan to showcase its popular international content, U.S. audiences are treated to this original HBO Europe production from the Czech Republic. The eight-episode psychological/crime drama tells of how a close-knit, multigenerational mining village is torn apart by the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl. It sets off a series of mysterious, shocking events that involve a foreign coal-mining operation and the town's mayor, Hana Sikorová, who is also the missing girl's mother. As Hana begins doubting and suspecting everyone around her, the once-peaceful community begins to fracture and residents start showing their true colors.
