Netflix releases new crime dramas Bytet and Call

Netflix has expanded its catalog with new dramatic series focusing on crime and complex human relationships.

Kasper Barfoed directed the four-part series Bytet (translated as Exchange), based on a bestseller by Stefan Arnhem. The story follows two couples who swap luxury homes between Sicily and an island near Stockholm. What begins as an idyllic vacation evolves into a murderous conspiracy driven by greed and romantic obsession. The production features an international cast, including Jakob Oftebro and Emma Appleton.

Director Matěj Balcar has released the film Call, which explores the consequences of an erotic video call that spirals into a nightmare. The film examines themes of infidelity and the fragility of family structures. While the film has been noted for its emotional depth, some critiques suggest the 61-minute runtime may have left certain character arcs and family dynamics underdeveloped.
