There is still no particular scandal in the context.
In the Gay League the living police return to their homeland to investigate the murder, which seems to be somehow connected to the narrow-minded religious community in the locality.
Sounds familiar. This is Finnish All sins series initial setup. Johannes Holopaisen the actor has to face his past in a Lestadian community on the outskirts of Oulu. He has left his home village when homosexuality was not tolerated there.
British a four-part crime series Between two rivers is located in Devon, near the city of Bristol.

Matthew’s father has just died, and it turns out the boy’s memories of his father are heavy.
The boy felt that his religious parents forced him to leave. This is discussed together with the mother (Juliet Stevenson).

Initial setup after the similarities All sins series actually run out, but could the idea have even theoretically passed from Finns to the British or vice versa?
The British series is based on, among other things Vera from Stanhop known Ann Cleevesin to a book published in 2019. All sins The first season of the series was completed in the same year, but its characters were developed years earlier, and the script was apparently also traded on ITV, which is a subscriber to the Cleeves series.
The idea could therefore have passed through ITV even to the author’s ears. All sins ended up with Sky Vision.
Not here yet there are no particular scandals. The similarities point to the internationalization of the television industry: ideas flow, sometimes even subconsciously.
Between two rivers However, the series has been hailed as the first police series starring a homosexual man. That is not the case then, because the Finnish series had time first.
Between two rivers is a basic good British series with convincing role performances. Devon’s landscapes are spreading widely, and the sea brings drama. There is an unnecessary clutter in the plot at times, but the focus remains on the atmosphere of the locality and the interpersonal relationships.
Between the two rivers, TV1 at 19.40 and Yle Areena. (K12)
