I thought I start a thread where we can discuss our favourite Nordic drama series.
With roots in TV dramas like The Killing, Wallander, The Bridge (Bron, Broen), Borgen etc, Nordic Noir has become a genre in its own right.
We can cover films too of course.
What's your favourite, what are you watching now or would like to see?
I'll start the ball rolling.
Loved all the Swedish Wallander series, esp the Christer Henriksson ones. They were stellar!
Never got the English version really, romping about in Skåne (South Sweden) with English pronunciations!
The Bridge was great.
Enjoying Gåsmamman (Mother goose) just now. On its third series.
About the established Stockholm drug baron scene. Sonja played by Alexandra Rapaport, mother of three has to deal with the fallout of her husband's and brother's high stakes drug running (and large scale growing) business.

I must also rewatch the film trilogy The girl with the dragon tattoo etc.
In Swedish Män som hatar Kvinnor (Men who hate women in English).
Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyqvist (now sadly passed) are great in their
respective rolls.
