Midnight Sun, a new Scandinavian crime series.
The opening scene was totally unrealistic, but apart from that it seems pretty good.

A man finds himself tied to the main rotor of a helicopter. The helicopter then starts its engine, the rotor spins up and the man is killed.
Now, I did some calculations and found that a weight of 75 kg placed at a radius of 1.25 meters from the axis would produce a centrifugal force of 260 kN if the rotor spins at 500 rpm. Surely the helicopter would sustain quite a bit of damage from such an imbalance.
