Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Yes, that's THE Jan Guillou—famous Swedish journalist and novelist—playing himself in a small role he wrote for himself.
This miniseries arrived during Sweden's 2000s crime boom, but got buried beneath Wallander and Beck's shadows. The 3.2 rating might be unfair—only 4 votes, probably all from angry completionists.
