Warning: Spoilers ahead for Netflix’s The Glass Dome
In The Glass Dome, a Netflix series based on a story by the Swedish crime author Camilla Läckberg’, Lejla (Léonie Vincent) returns to her hometown after the death of her adoptive mother. The trip back to Granås, a small village in Sweden, becomes a nightmare when a local child goes missing. The timing and setting of the mysterious disappearance feels eerily familiar to Lejla.
